Our few days at the beach sure came and went quickly! I was pretty tempted to just ditch the rest of our destinations and stay there for another week, but my conscience got the best of me since there were still more people and places to visit.
So we loaded up the car (again) and hit the road (again). By then, I was feeling pretty old hat about driving for hours and hours alone with two kids.
This time, we headed up the Interstate and into a large city. I was so thankful that we were going on a Sunday, because you’d have to be seriously committed to BRAVE that traffic on a weekday!
My grandfather and aunt live in a nearby town, so we spent Sunday evening/Monday morning with them. My grandfather drove us around some wooded areas at dusk so that we could see if any deer were out (we saw 12, including 2 babies), and all Emma could do was scream, “TREES! TREES!” I had never really thought about it, but trees where we live don’t grow as big and tall as they do there. She had never seen such large trees in her little life. Note to self: Take her to Redwood National Park to really blow her mind.
The next morning, we headed out of town, but stopped to visit one of my dear blogging buddies for lunch. You may know this gorgeous lady.
I got to see the house that she’s remodeling (OMG, it is AMAZING! She’s really talented, y’all!) and we went to a cute little sandwich shop for a bite to eat.
While we were there, Emma managed to empty an entire shaker of salt (Salt! Salt! Salt! If you get that reference, you and I are kindred spirits) on the floor while we were visiting. Awesome. I did my best to clean it up and the employees were dolls about it – another reason why I love the South.
Any guesses as to where we were? The largest nearby city is a good enough guess for me. 😀
The largest nearby city is of course Atlanta. No clue which the other small towns are.
Savannah??
Atlanta! It’s gotta be Atlanta, home of the BRAVES.
Atlanta! Keep on trucking up 85, and you can stop at Mary Jo’s in my town. 🙂
Atlanta, of course! And I’m going to guess specifically either Smyrna or Marietta…
ATLANTA! (in Gone with the Wind font) How fun! I would love to see her house!
Atlanta, GA
Atlanta, of course, as everyone else guessed. Traffic. Big traffic.
Kennesaw GA
I’m going for a not-so-popular answer here. Are you in Augusta?
How brave of you to visit Atlanta 🙂
Hi! I have been reading some of your old posts and found out you like to use Ralph Lauren glaze. I don’t really know much about using glaze but I do have a can of this product. Can you please tell me how to tint it?
Hi Melanie! It has to be tinted at a paint store. Take it to a store that sells Ralph Lauren paints and have them tint it. You can tint it to any Ralph Lauren paint color that’s offered. I personally like the color Black Silk for my glazing. I hope that helps!
Thanks
You must be in Atlanta, GA now?
Hey, Lindsay, didn’t know you were bloggin your whole journey, that is really cool. So glad you got to stop by and see me, loved our visit and lunch! xoxo
