Atlanta

Oh Atlanta. We came , we saw, and we played (a little too hard). Last week we took off to Atlanta for the last leg of the Mr.'s birthday month. Our friends moved down there for work ( sorely miss) and we have been wanting to go visit them. They are Romanian but have lived in the US for 12 years now and used to be our neighbors turned good friends.

I was so giddy, excited and nervous leaving baby I took a bunch of selfies on the plane to distract myself while the Mr. worked.

Too much coffee.

Shortly after it was time to bring on the wine & twist my arm (when flight attended refilled mine without asking). 

After landing it was lunch and an early happy hour 

Found an old style phone booth, of course that means I have to pose "call me maybe."

Later that day we went to a good dinner and several bars. Probably shouldn't look for those pics. I felt so bad Saturday morning! Not used to it I guess and getting older, I can't hang like back in the early 20s days!

Saturday we took it easy recovered  and waited till later to start. We went to a really nice night club so we could dance (one of my favorite past time things to do).

We had dinner at a really cute authentic Mexican restaurant.

Sunday we had brunch, good food and booze.

For dinner we finished the trip out a cool Jazz restaurant called Dantes, there are ligit crocodiles walking around and ship artwork all over, pirates and all. Felt like I was in the pirates of caribbean ride at Disney. Sadly, he is closing down this summer because the city is building a high rise condo. If you are in Atlanta soon it is worth it to check out!

Croc's grave. First time seeing that, also didn't know they could live really LONG lives! 

One of the cars outside. Looked like HBO's gangster Boardwalk Empire style!

All in All awesome trip, missed my baby terribly and was happy to be home!

Baby Shower

My baby shower was this past Sunday. Weather? Beautiful! How'd it go? Perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better shower. It was very intimate. There were about 21 family and close friends there whom gathered in a circle to show their love and support for this baby. I couldn't have been happier. My mother in law hosted it at her house with the help of some of her friends. We ate bbq, shrimp, had delicious sides, along with cupcakes and the cake pops my cousin made. Everything was delicious. We only played one game (because who really likes the games?) and during the present opening drew names for prizes (gift cards) so guest weren't super bored. I didn't want to pass my gifts around but of course my mom the overly excited on cloud nine over the top grandma to be wanted to. We really got a lot of great stuff. Only a few more items that need to be purchased and were done, all we need is little baby diva! I leave this post with some pictures of the day, which I will never forget!
