The title of this post pretty much sums up my weekend in Atlanta - staying up late to chat with friends and sleeping in - most days anyway! Thursday night Alisa, Laura and I flew into Atlanta and were met by Olivia - it was a true tennis reunion! We stayed up late, chatted, laughed, ate, chatted, pedicured, got turned around, shopped, laughed, ate, 'Kept secrets', watched movies and TLC (true CU tennis right there), hiked, got turned around, laughed, shopped, and ate! Enjoy the photo journey -
Thursday night - first things first, we stumbled upon the original Chick-fil-A! I knew my sister-in-law would be SO proud! It's really more like a diner, you're seated, someone takes your order and you can order other things that are not on the fast food menu. It was very fun! Alisa was pumped!
YAY! The Dwarf House has a little dwarf door for kids - cute!
Here we are in front of the sign to prove it! The first one ever!!
This is Olivia's Aunt Sue - she hosted us, took us to breakfast, and treated us to...
PEDICURES!!!!!!
We sat for hours in those chairs getting our toes and backs worked on, what a great way to spend a Friday morning! - Thanks Aunt Sue! :)
Ta Daaaa! The finished product! Looking like the Rockettes right here!
Next we headed to Ikea - Alisa and I hadnt ever been there. Very cool, so many great ideas! Alisa's checking out the oven which she declared could, 'Hold like 10 casseroles!' :)
Enjoying the Ikea deliciousness all delivered by GFS! - A little piece of home even here :)
After we had made plans to go to ATL this weekend Sarah informed us that while she couldnt hang out with us the whole weekend, she was going to be at a Secret Keepers event in the area! That worked out so well! Here we are -
We got to have a little dinner with Sarah before the event - love the outfit rockstar!
Here's Sar and her friends from the Secret Keepers tour - such a great ministry! Many blessings to it and all those involved with it!
Oliva, Me, Laura and Alisa waiting for the show to start!
ROCKSTAR!
The next 'morning' we decided to hike Stone Mountain - it was very cool! Olivia promised us that it was not too far and a 'pretty flat climb' - yeah right girlfriend! :)
At the top with Atlanta behind us - such a great view, and worth the climb
That night we shopped a little and then went to dinner at a little pizza place we spotted - a great find! The 'za was soooo good, I think Olivia will be taking people back there for sure! Just dont ask them to take your photo - but if you do tell them you're not from the city!!
Fellini's - YUM!
And once again eating! This was on the way to the airport, we stopped at an Atlanta staple - The Varsity. YUMO! If it hasnt been on Diners Drive Ins and Dives it should be!
Holy Sweet Rolls Batman - I'm so glad we met down there! I vote more friends and more adventures next year!
Happy Monday everyone!
