Spring Break - Day 3

Today we took the girls to the Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta.  We have not been since Regan was 3, Riley was a baby and Reece has never been.  We had a fabulous time and spent the whole day there!!  We started off with a guided tour to see Truett Cathy's office, his car collection and the CFA museum.  Then, we met up with Tony's business consultant, Marty, for lunch in the CFA cafeteria.  While at lunch the girls were able to meet Dan and Bubba Cathy (Truett's sons).  After lunch, Marty gave us a tour of the other building where marketing and business consultants are.  We also saw the test kitchen (got to try the new cookies that are coming out), the warehouse where all the ordering is done, the new Information Technology offices, where a lot of the Chick-fil-A operator training is done, and the fitness center.  The girls were spoiled all day long with people giving them snacks, ice cream, candy, drinks, and Marty gave all the girls CFA gift bags.  However, I think the highlight of the day for them was riding the shuttles back and forth between buildings.  We had a great time and are so blessed to be part of such a wonderful company! 
 The beautiful grounds outside the home office.
 The girls sitting with a statue of Truett Cathy.  Reece tried to sit on his lap but we said she couldn't. :)
 Chick-fil-A's Corporate Purpose - this is right outside the entrance of the home office.
 The girls in the CFA museum.  This is a replica of Truett's Dwarf Grill.
 The girls loved this modern room.  It was a meeting room and they call this window "the egg." 
 Cozy seats in this meeting room.  Tony and I told Marty we are not sure how they get much done in these meeting rooms. :)
 Another picture of the cool meeting room.  I can't remember the name of the room but it had a really catchy name.
 Riley resting in "the egg."
 Headquarters - looking down the atrium from the 5th floor.
 The girls in Truett Cathy's office.  Unfortunately, he was not there that day. 
 The girls got to see the CFA cow mascot.
 The girls posing with Truett's Bat Mobile in his car museum.  It is one of the original cars they used in the Batman movie.
