Last day of City Pass

The saturday after memorial day weekend was the last day to use the city-pass, and cheapo as I am, I can't just let that be, so we went to Atlanta history museum with my mom, while Josh and my dad played golf. We went to the Olympcs part with info, photos, videos, flame-holder exhibits, and what not which was really neat. They had a part of a 400 m track and field court there, which Sofia and Lilian ofcourse used many times to find out who was the fastest of the 2, mind you..on flip-flops'. I would have ended up with a bloody nose, but they might enter the olumpics someday witha special track-and-field flip-flop race. We all loved that. They had an older farm area with some sheep and chickens, and a beautiful garden with mainly herbs and spices which were used for healing in the olden days. It must not have always worked back then, as there were warning everywhere: 'do not try this at home!' We ended up near an old mansion (probably plantation) which was a way too structurized and guided tour for anyone in our family, so we ended up playing in the beautiful weather in the neat yard. They were going to have a concert, and some men were carrying microphones and cables to set it all up. Sofia LOVES to help, so she asked me if she could go over and help. I said yes, she ran over to one of the guys and just grabbed the stuff from him without saying anything and started carrying it for him. It was really funny to see, and the guy was really nice about it and let her and Lilian help for a while until we had to leave. In the evening we had Josh family over for dinner which is always very lively and fun.
