Atlanta Adventure

April 4th – 7th, 2013

We are so grateful that Race has worked his butt off in basketball so that we could even make the trip to Atlanta, GA!

DAY ONE

We set out of St. George at 4 am for the Vegas Airport. We were scattered on different flights, but all arrived in GA safely. We were lucky to have the Jorgensen family with us!

Our first event was the College Three Point and Slam Dunk Championship. It was unbelievable and we had so much fun.

 

Love having sister Macie around to keep my dear husband entertained ;) You wouldn't think he'd need it at an event like this......

  

                                                               Love time as a family - especially if it involves BASKETBALL!!! 

Macie and I with the winner of the College Slam Dunk contest "Dunkin' Doug Anderson". 

DAY TWO

Race was asked to participate in a Facebook voting competition for the chance to be entered into the National High School Three Point Championship. With much help from Facebook friends, he won all four rounds to land him in Atlanta. 

 

He competed in a small high school gym, filled with tons of screaming kids and cameras everywhere. He absolutely killed it in warm-ups, but when the cameras got right up in his face the pressure was on. We were so proud of him and even being at this competition proves he is one of the best shooters around. 

As you can see, he shot against THE BEST in the good ol' USA haha

We were so excited and had so much fun cheering him on!

 (don't mind my special hubby haha)

 

The Jorgensen's are such an amazing family and we hope they'll be around for the long haul ;)

DAY THREE

We got to go to the Georgia Aquarium and it was one of MY favorite parts of the trip. 

 -the walkthru tank - AMAZING!

-blacktip shark

-Jackson being like the grump fish

- a HUGE whale shark

- a GIANT mantaray

Next up was Bracket Town! Jackson won himself a nice Final Four authentic backpack by breaking the weekend record on a mini hoop competition. Next he broke the record for the vertical jump haha - his competition was young children, however haha.

FINAL FOUR TIME!!!

It was a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity for sure. We had remarkable seats - thanks to the Jorgensen's.

Me and the hubby had a blast!! All decked out in FinalFour gear! :)

We were loving how legit our tickets were!

DAY FOUR

We traveled home, waking at 2 am, and arrived in Vegas Sunday afternoon.

Overall, the trip was a blast and we had so much fun. We were wishing like crazy we could stay for the Championship, but the Final Four was an indescribable experience.
