DISNEY WORLD!

After Christmas, Clay and Ayla's mom went back to Georgia, and Ayla and her dad went to Disney World!

This is in front of Casey's Corner, a restaurant on Main Street, USA. They serve hot dogs and ice cream.

Christmas lasts until the beginning of January at Disney. Have you noticed my headwear? Ayla made sure I would fit in with the crowds,

Can you believe that Disney has their own famous dragon!? His name is Figment and he's part of EPCOT. He was nice about taking a photo with me.

EPCOT has the World Showcase. This is on a bridge right before France.

Ayla doesn't know if this is Japan or China.

I fit right in.

At Magic Kingdom, they have Buzz Lightyear's space ride. Looks like me and Zurg got caught! There's always next time.

I didn't get to ride on the Main Street Trolley, but I got to have a picture with it. Look how big that horse is!

This is the Christmas tree at Animal Kingdom.

That's the Everest roller coaster behind me.

IT'S A DINOSAUR!!!

Tree of Life

Snowmen in Florida? Well... kind of. This was at Hollywood Studios.

Me with the famous "ball". It's actually a ride called Spaceship Earth.

Thanksgiving and Christmas

Clay and I decided to go to Texas for Thanksgiving. Instead of going straight there, they went to Nashville, Tennessee to pick up his son. This was along the way on I-24 right at the Tennessee/Georgia border.

Ayla just loves this gas station. It's more than just a gas station, it's a HUGE store on the inside. It's the Wal-Mart of gas stations, they have EVERYTHING. It's a famous store throughout Texas. Ayla ended up being sick for a lot of the trip, so she didn't take many photos. 

For Christmas, Ayla, Clay, and her mom and dad went to Florida. Here we are playing Phase 10.

The gift shops in Florida are weird

Take me out to the ball game!

These were taken September 18 & 19, 2015

Aren't I adorable? I think so. For Clay's birthday, he and Ayla went to 2 Atlanta Braves baseball games and I went along. I even had my own jersey!

Good ol' #42. Ever hear of a man called Jackie Robinson? He was the first African-American man to play pro baseball, way back in 1947. He didn't play for the Braves (to Ayla's knowledge and research) but his number was retired among all of baseball and the Braves memorialized it.

It was quite tricky getting me up here, but what a great shot!

On the same baseball, with the Turner Field sign. This upcoming season (starts in April) will be the last season here. The Braves are moving to a new location, but will remain in Atlanta.

Like Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron was another very famous baseball player (who actually played for the Braves).

Here we are actually inside the field, with some of the players on the field practicing.

Ayla and Clay were watching the players practice when one of the guys threw a ball to them! 

I'm sitting on the dugout roof.

We're peeking inside the dugout. 

That's all for the ball game (involving me, that is).

Around Georgia

So, I'm absolutely horrible about updating. It's been months and I am SO sorry. It doesn't mean that I haven't been taking photos, I've done excellent with that.

Onward to the photos (please forgive me!)

These were take Summer of 2015 (June/July/August-ish)

It is I, Legend! Well.. not in this photo. Ayla's a slacker, but I finally got her to update photos. 

Anyways...

Are you familiar with the show The Walking Dead? They film all over in this area and back in June (maybe July) the were filming on the road where Ayla's church is. They even used the church as a base camp for feeding everyone. It was pretty cool. Here's a group of zombies just hanging out at Ayla's car waiting for a bus. 

This is the front of Ayla's church. It's called East Griffin Baptist Church.

Over the July 4th holiday, we ended up meeting with some friends of Ayla who live in Marietta, which is north of Atlanta. We went to the Atlanta History Center which has an old plantation and farm like they had back in the 1800s. These were some sheep from the farm.

Have you seen The Hunger Games? If you have, this may look familiar as President Snow's house. It's historically known as the Swan House. It was built in 1928. This is the back of the house.

This is a view from one of the bathrooms overlooking the front garden.

Clay and Ayla ended their day in Atlanta with a stop at Morelli's Ice Cream, known for weird ice cream flavors. Ayla had a Krispy Kreme doughnut flavored ice cream. 

In August, one of Ayla's friends got married and vacationed in Savannah, Georgia. They had dinner at The Pirate's House (pictured below) and had dessert here, at Leopold's. It's a well known establishment in Savannah (almost 100 years old!) and the current owner (third generation) is Stratton Leopold, a movie producer in Hollywood. One of his famous and recognizable movies is Mission Impossible 3

The Pirate's House is full of history, more than I can describe, but here's a link: http://www.thepirateshouse.com/history.html

A couple weeks ago, Clay and Ayla went to a hockey game. I wasn't able to go, but they brought me a souvenir! My own Atlanta Gladiators shirt!
