MLK DAY in the ATL

OK, so seeing how the girls and I live here in Atlanta we felt it was important to maybe get out and do something to support the man whose birthday we celebrate. I mean we get a day off and all. Martin Luther King Jr is an inspiration to us all. He should be honored every day with service to others for the service he provided to America. A true hero is someone who will put his own life on the line for what he believes in. Martin Luther King Jr, he is a hero.

The girls and I had planned to go to the 2PAC memorial to help clean up the memorial gardens, however, it was so freezing cold on Monday. SeKoixa was still recoving from an asthma attack she had on Friday, so I felt it was best to not go out in the cold with the kids. So we waited till later in the afternoon and went with my friend Kenya, and her son Tyler to the Auburn Ave festivities.

Auburn Ave is where MLK's house is located. They shut down the street every year and allow people to sell things, and do things, and have a parade. We were lucky to get great parking less than a block away. Not bad for someone who does not know a thing about where to park over there.

They were passing out free Coke Zero too! Yummy.

Because of how cold it was, we only did a little walking, and then hung out to watch the parade. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.
