Blog 411

This blog was created for our friends and family who don't get to see us -- well, Jonathan and Elise, really -- as often as they'd like. I'm trying to keep you all updated on their milestones and their day-to-day activities. I also hope this will serve as sort of a journal for them as well, something for them to read when they are older that chronologues their lives and adventures. When I can, I'll post pictures and maybe even videos to help bridge the distance.

This blog is Part 2 of the Life of the Hardwicks. This edition will focus on our new lives in Atlanta, GA, that began in July 2013.

2013_08_01 Thursday

We visited the Atlanta Children's Museum today. It's a cute place, not too big, and very well organized/clean. One unique station was the 50 states, with a small area for nearly each state. We also got to watch a mini-musical on the states, so that was fun. All the major Atlanta companies contribute to the museum, so there's a Home Depot tool area; a Publix grocery store (with a cow to milk!) and a felt veggie garden; a Coca-Cola creative arts area (not sure how that ties together)...Elise got to paint on a glass wall while Jonathan messed with the tools and ball tracks. He explored a pitch black 'mole' tunnel when girls with light shoes ran through it. Elise wandered off, and I had to get the staff involved in finding her (she was in the grocery delivery car, too short to see over the windshield), and she didn't know she was lost. We stayed for about 2.5 hrs before I got too antsy.

We got a microwave today! Then we drove 1/2 to PA to pick up clothes from Craigslist for Jonathan for the summer/fall/winter (including a cute suit).

I'm pooped!
