Kang Family: The Month of May (and April)

It seems we are out of practice on the posts and need to do a major update. Sometimes it seems we aren't doing things that are news worthy, but even the little things are good to know. Since our last post, we've celebrated Easter, flown to Atlanta for a wedding, gone to the Georgia Aquarium (see photo on above), and enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend (mostly because it was three days off.)

We'll start with the trip to Atlanta. A few weeks ago, Greg's cousin got married. Most of Greg's family lives in Atlanta (he has two uncles and an aunt who there along with the cousins). Greg's parents came as well. We were amazed at the urban sprawl of Atlanta and wonder how people deal with the traffic. We had dinner at a relatives house each night and I got to try new Korean dishes I had not had before. Greg was happy to get his Korean food fix.

The wedding was beautiful with a mix of Korean and English. Sarah and I had to miss a majority of the ceremony because she wanted to sing, dance and talk most of the time. However, after that she was the hit of the party. She tried to dance the first dance, get the first piece of cake, and just join in all of the festivities. She even took the cake topper with flowers and handed out some cake to people (what a helper!)

Since we were in Atlanta, we decided to check out the Georgia aquarium. We had heard about it on the Today show a few times and it was a really fun place to visit. They had Beluga whales, sharks, tropical fish, and, of course, Sarah's favorite--Nemo (or at least a look alike).

Before our Atlanta adventures, we celebrated a low key Easter with some friends of ours, Aris and Jill. They live close to Monument Avenue, where there is an annual Easter on Parade each year. We went to their house in the morning for brunch and then headed out to the parade. It isn't as much a parade, but a big 6-7 block party with people and dogs walking around. People who own the huge mansions on the Monument Avenue host parties (we don't know anyone who lives on Monument, so we just see the parties). It's a fun time and great to people watch.

There was a group of cross dressers out on the day of the parade that Sarah was fascinated with. Mostly because they had on very colorful dresses and pretty hats. Sarah kept calling them, 'the ladies.'

During the weekend, we also attended a Easter festival at a park nearby. It was colder that day, but Sarah had fun going on the little merry-go-round, getting a sticker 'tattoo' and petting the little baby goats.
