A long layover in Atlanta

Our flight had a scheduled three hour layover in Atlanta (not leaving enough time to visit grandma)....that turned into an eight hour layover (would have been enough time to visit grandma). Sigh!!! What a horrible airport to hang out in for that long. Not really any shops and overpriced food even for an airport. Luckily, we had plopped our weary bodies in front of a television and got to watch rerun after rerun of HLN. We could resite the stories by the end of our stay. Thankfully, we were all able to keep our patience in check. I knew it was becoming hard for Nathaniel as he was becoming extra loving to mom....Hey, I'll take the attention when and where he will give it. But, man, I was glad to finally get on that plane and land back in Texas.
