Tomorrow, Tomorrow!

I am going on a mini-vacation!  It is much needed and I just can't wait!  We are leaving tomorrow morning after I have coffee with a wonderful girl while the mister gets some last-minute work done for the week.

Destination: Atlanta, GA  (I just don't feel cool enough to say "ATL" even though I kind of wanted to put that and let you guys believe I was hip.)

Agenda: (1) Braves game!

I would say that I was going to the game to make Billy happy, but I'm actually really excited.  I don't necessarily just love baseball, but I totally love sporting events.
I mostly just want to wave my arm in tomahawk fashion.  I come from a long line of Braves fans.  I'm terrible at following the game, but I'm a great fan.  Plus, red's my color.


(2) Swan House! (I have wanted to see it since I read Elizabeth Musser's book called, well, The Swan House...)
(My favorite book ever...)

The actual house!  I feel like I'm going to feel a part of me come alive when I go! 
 I don't know if the hubs is as excited as I am, but he's been really nice about it.

(3) The Cheesecake Factory!  For those of you who live close to one, I am so jealous.  For those of you who have never been to one, you should be jealous of me.  They not only have great food, but they have so many types of cheesecake.  I mean, how can you not like it?  Is it bad to get two pieces...?

Playlist for the drive:  You say playing John Mayer is cheesy just because he's from Atlanta?  Well, I give you permission to think I'm the queen of cheese as I play "Why, Georgia, Why?" on repeat as I slowly drive my husband insane.  Hey, it was either Mayer or Justin Beiber, and I just haven't gotten his "fever" yet.  
Maybe we'll slip in "Midnight Train to Georgia" because I love when the background singers affirm the main singer.  She says "Leavin on a midnight train," and they sing, "I know you will!"  I mean, how much more encouraging can background singers be?  (I know, I know, I'm the queen of cheesiness...)

Anyway, I will bring you real pictures of all of these places soon.  And if I see John Mayer, I'll be sure to let you know.

  3. Atlanta is such a great place! I know you'll have a blast. Enjoy the Braves game for me, and a slice of cheesecake too :-). I've never seen (or heard of) that house before. It's GORGEOUS! Now I'm sad I've never been to it on my trips to "ATL" ;-). I'll look forward to hearing all about it (I'm busy traveling the world this summer vicariously through my blog friends)! Happy vacationing!

  5. I work across the street from a cheesecake factory, but haven't been since I was 11 maybe? I'm not the biggest fan of cheescake.

    But have a fun trip! And I won't take it personally that you're a semi-Braves fan...I'm a blue-and-orange bleeding Mets girl all the way. :P
