Atlanta

Last weekend, Taylor and I decided to make the quick trip to Atlanta to visit with our friends Nick and Sarah. The weekend was full of great conversations, many laughs, many stories of the boys and their high school memories, and amazing food!! 

On Friday afternoon, we actually made it into town before 5pm traffic got really bad. We went to this amazing wine store to stock up for the weekend then headed to dinner at Wild Wing Cafe. We drank and ate a lot and just enjoyed getting to catch up! We ended the night with watching a movie by the fire.

Saturday morning was an early one. The four of us had a day full of activities planned. First stop was breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast then on to downtown. We spent the morning at the Georgia Aquarium and really enjoyed ourselves. It truly is such a cool place to visit. Our next stop was the World of Coca Cola Museum. Amazing. We got to taste all the cokes that we wanted (all 62 if we were up for the challenge) and then we got to leave with a small glass bottle of Coke. We loved it.. and I love this picture! 
 


Our lunch stop was to the Varsity. Of all my trips to Atlanta, it was something that I had never experienced and we were all starving and ready to eat by the time that our morning was over. We decided we needed a trip to Atlantic Station to work off our lunch. A little shopping at the newly opened H&M was a treat! I left with a Christmas present for someone and a few things for myself.

Then on to IKEA.... unbelievable. I have always heard how amazing they were.. just never been able to experience it for myself. None of us had. So the four of us spend two full hours walking around and absorbing everything. Wanting to leave with more than we could. There will be another trip just for IKEA, soon, very soon. The night ended with football and tons of tailgating food.

Sunday morning we went to Marietta Diner for breakfast before leaving town. It was wonderful! We even left with some of their amazing cake to get to eat later on. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.. yummmmm

Miley spent the weekend with her grandparents in Monroeville so we did make a trip to Greenville on Sunday afternoon to pick her up. She enjoyed herself and only got into a little bit of trouble. :) We were glad to have her back with us though. Thursday night was our first night in our house without her since we got home from the honeymoon.. you just never realize how used to something you are until it's not there. We love our Miley Girl. But I loved our fun little weekend trip too! I look forward to many more weekends like this!!

Sounds like a lot of fun! So many things I would want to be in on, and I would want that cake too! Was the H&M present for me?:)
