On our second full day in the Atlanta area, we explored Peachtree City. A suburb located right next to Sharpsburg (home of the Bergums), Peachtree City (PTC) offered a unique opportunity - the chance to tool about town in a golf cart. So armed with a map, snacks, drinks, and bubbles, we did just that.
Believe it or not, PTC is not a golf course community. For some reason, the town just decided to build paths throughout the city; paths that are used for walking, running, biking, and golf carting. We saw houses with short little garages for golf carts, parents driving around in carts with car seats strapped in back, and an older woman driving home from the grocery store, with her bags stacked on the seats and a big plastic rain protector wrapped around her cart (despite the clear blue sky). The golf cart isn't the only mode of transportation in PTC, but it's clearly the most fun!
We drove on the paths whenever possible, but had to go on the road at times, and even through a big shopping center parking lot to park and eat at Chik-Fil-A (I bet we could have gone through the drive-thru!). We visited parks to let the kids out to run, cruised around a very nice lake, and saw some lovely scenery when we took an unintentional detour. Charlie even took a nice snooze, snug in the Bjorn and his dad's arms.
As if that wasn't enough fun, then it was time to officially celebrate Isak and Scott's birthdays - both born on March 2nd (just 32 years apart!). And what kid, whether a preschooler or an engineer, doesn't want to go to Chuck E Cheese for their birthday??
(^ No, we don't generally let Charlie kick back in a restaurant in his bare feet. What can I say - he was on his second massive blow-out of the trip, and my stash of back-up clothes in the diaper bag was running low!)
Pizza and a seemingly unlimited supply of tokens made for a fun night. Zach had never been, and was thrilled with all the video games and of course the "prizes" he got when he cashed in all his tickets. We've had many conversations since about how C-E-C is a special occasion place, not somewhere we go every day. I sure hope there's one around here as nice as the one we went to in Atlanta!
Whew. What a day. But no, we weren't done yet! Time to head home for some cake and a few presents. I think both birthday boys had a good day!

What a fun trip! I love the picture of Charlie in the swing reaching Scott. So sweet. Our next door neighbors just moved to PTC this past year. They told us they bought a golf cart to drive around town. But I didn't realize there were little paths. Travis and I had a good chuckle about your descriptions of the people you saw driving around.
