The Varsity turns 80... and some other things!

One thing that is so great about living in Atlanta is the Varsity! If you've ever come to visit us from out of town- we've taken you to The Varsity. I love going here- the food is greasy and oh so good and its an Atlanta icon. It sits off the connector (I-75/85) across from GA Tech and just minutes from our house so needless to say we make many a trip to The Varsity. Trey has also come to love the place. He eats a hot dog (the ENTIRE thing- plus the bun) and some fries and a lemonade. YUM! Anyhow- today The Varsity celebrated it's 80th birthday party so of course we had to go. The celebration included live bands, a car show, free Mayfield ice cream, and a plenty of lunch goers. We got there at 11 - thankfully b/c by the time we left at 12:30- it was so crowded you could hardly walk around. Here are a few pictures. This week we also went over to visit Emily and her daughter Melody. She is a few months older than Trey. They played- mostly just taking what the other was playing with. I didn't get many good pictures... but here is one:One thing Trey really loves to do when we visit his Grammy and Papi is "walk to dog". He'll find the leash and bring it to us so we can hook the dog onto it. He walks around the house pulling the dog where he feels like going. Its pretty cute- but turns out its only his ploy to get outside and taken on a walk. When we take him for walks at thier house the dog always comes along- so he figures take the dog to the door and they will take me for a walk in the stroller! Funny guy! Here are some pictures!

Sorry we missed the big Varsity celebration--sounded like a lot of fun and part of ATL history. Kate and I were both sick over the weekend. :o( Love the photos!
