Cars and Planes

We had a wonderful weekend with Opa!

Opa came in town on Friday night and stayed with us until Sunday. He had not seen Lauren since the day after she was born, as he had to head to Highlands to go back to work. Despite the time apart, they became fast friends....







Opa spent Saturday at the Auto Show while Mike and I took the kids to the Aviation Museum for the afternoon.

Ella and Aidan were thrilled to see the Miracle on the Hudson or, as they called it, "the plane that landed on the water"....



.... they also had fun just exploring all of the planes....


.... sitting in a cockpit.....


.... and checking out the size of the tires on the landing gear....


.... Lauren was not too excited about the adventure and chose to sleep the entire time....




...we topped off the afternoon with a visit to the airport overlook....



Lauren did wake up as soon as we got home and decided to pose for a picture with Mommy....


Mike had to work on Sunday, but we enjoyed a little bit more fun with Opa at Waldhorn, his favorite German restaurant, where we were actually interviewed and filmed for a television show called Food Stories airing on September 14. 

After posing for a picture with all three grandkids, Opa had to head home to Atlanta.




We had a great weekend and miss Opa so much already!
