bon voyage

tuesday mom headed off to the "mother land". we wanted to avoid the downtown traffic as much as possible. so we drove to the north avenue station, i unloaded mom, her luggage, the boys, kathy and danielle, then i parked at my office, and i walked back to the station- bought our tickets, and headed to the airport via marta rail- what a cool and easy way to go! loved it















and we're off-i don't think mom's ridden the marta train, in like FOREVER!


here we are at the airport--getting ready to check mom in, and get her settled with wheelchair assistance.














mom got to the airport with plenty of time before her flight-the rest of us decided to head to dinner to wait out the traffic at manuel's tavern yummy burgers and fish'n'chips.
me and the boys- don't you just love that hair???!!1
















a quick group snap












and can you believe this- haven't seen on in ages, but $5.00???? i remember when you could get them out of the machine for 50 cents, and i could buy them for my mom- those were the days















got an email from mom that her flight went well, i'm sure she'll have a great time, and can't wait to hear about her adventures--a trip to blackpool is planned.

tomorrow- THE road race!
