We left Rochester on Saturday afternoon and arrived in Atlanta around 1:00 on Sunday, just in time for me to hit Archiver’s for the Make and Take weekend specials. Covered a cute tin box that we filled with tags, and a card that holds several notes tied with a ribbon. As always the shopping there was a lot of fun. They have so many scrapbook products I never see at home. Their current ad says “Indulge yourself,” and I did. We met Adam for dinner at Macaroni Grill at the Mall of Georgia and a nice long visit.
Shopping was the main event the next day as well. Tracy had a golf analysis at the PGA Superstore and bought new clubs. I checked off my list at The Container Store and found another scrapbook store in Alpharetta while Tracy was having his golf swing analyzed. Later in the week, we hit Ikea, REI, the shops at The Perimeter Mall, and I spent some time in the gift shops in Decatur. Good thing I curbed my spending earlier this summer.
Sarah returned from The Ghost Ranch on Monday night, and we met up with her and Adam on Tuesday morning. She had a great trip, but was glad to reconnect with Adam after a two month separation. It’s so nice to see your kids happy, and she and Adam certainly have a good time together. She leaves for Scotland for 10 days on Sunday; the last trip of her FTE project. I don’t think it will be easy to leave Adam again so soon.
Ate at lots of new restaurants in Decatur and Atlanta; too many great meals. The highlight was a dinner at Canoe. The most disconcerting meal turned out to be lunch at Panera’s while Tracy was golfing with a college friend in Jasper. (See previous posts.)
The last evening we went to the laser show at Stone Mountain. Both Sarah and I had expected some history as part of the show, but it was just songs and cartoon laser images flashed on the side of the mountain. It certainly was a disappointment although there were a few nice fireworks interspersed in the show.
