Sarah Hobson Takes the Bronze Medal in the Junior Olympics in Atlanta
Jun 30- July 3, 2004
 On July 2 we watched Sarah Hobson, age 8, take the bronze medal in the Junior Olympics Taekwondo Championships. The competition was at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. |  |
We had been looking forward to the arrival of Stephen Hobson and his family for 8yr-old Sarah's participation in the Junior Olympics. We picked up Stephen, Marsha, Sarah and Joshua at the airport about 6pm on June 30.
 | We drove to downtown Atlanta to swing by the huge Georgia Dome where the competitions were to be held. |
The Dome is in a large complex which includes the Phillips Arena and the CNN Center. |  |
 | Also in the area are the World Congress Center and the Omni Hotel. In the background here is the 72-floor, round Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel. On Thursday, Brenda took them to the Sundial Room at the top of it for lunch. She had dropped them off early for Sarah's weigh-in at the Omni Hotel. She went to work for a couple of hours and came back to pick them up for lunch. |
In the Sundial Room on the 72nd floor for lunch. Sarah and Joshua have beany babies they have picked up along the way. They had a nice lunch with Brenda and got to see the city from that height as the restaurant revolves while they eat.
 | From this high perspective, Sarah got to see the Georgia Dome over the CNN Center and Omnni Hotel. She was to compete there the next day.  |
 | Stephen and Marsha and the youngsters on the 72nd floor with the top of the Georgia Pacific Building just behind them. |
Sarah and Joshua enjoyed a trip on MARTA.
Getting off MARTA at the nearest station to the Dome, they got another perspective of how big it is. By this time they had a good idea of where to be and when for the big competition tomorrow.
