Take Me Out To The Ballgame...NOT!

5.06.2013

The fiancé and I drove back into town late last night from our little weekend getaway in Atlanta. 
You know the getaway I gave Steven for his birthday that was centered around the Braves game? 
Well thanks to that stupid bitch called mother nature, the game was canceled. 
That put a bit of a damper on our weekend, but we still managed to make the best of it.
  I mean we were staying at the Ritz Carlton after all, and that really isn't something to complain about.

Since we no longer had a baseball game to attend we decided to spend the afternoon touring Sweetwater Brewery. 
And by touring I mean drinking really good beer.

After “sampling” practically all of the beer available at the brewery we headed back to our fancy dancy hotel to clean up and get ready to go out for dinner.
Which was pretty pointless because the torrential downpour outside made us both look like wet dogs.

See? Wet dogs. 

We ended the night by enjoying a few more drinks at an Irish pub across the street from our hotel. We were even served by a real Irish bartender!

Cheers! 

Sunday we woke up and drove an hour north to visit Steven’s family. We were greeted by Steven’s dad, who within 10 minutes of seeing us exclaimed that we were going to take a family Cruise this fall and that he really wanted a tattoo. We aren’t really sure what got into him, but sure enough we spent the majority of Sunday at a tattoo parlor watching my future father in-law get his very first tattoo. He was recently declared cancer free after fighting colon cancer for almost a year, so who were we to stop him?? 

I didn't get a picture of the final product, but here is a sketch of the tattoo (without the signature of course). 

All in all, I would call it a pretty eventful weekend. 

Now I'm off to get the puppies out of doggie jail. They had to be boarded while we were away. Poor babies! 

I'm linking up with Sami!

(Belated) Birthday Road Trip

5.03.2013



If you read my post from yesterday then you know that this weekend the fiancé and I are road tripping to Atlanta to finally enjoy the birthday presents I gave him last month.
We are leaving out first thing in the morning in order to get some day drinking in before heading over to watch a little Braves baseball. Oh, and did I mention that I also got us a room at the Ritz for tomorrow night?! Can. Not. Wait.

Although I’m over the moon excited about the Braves game and the Ritz, I’m more excited about having a weekend away, just him and I. We take weekend trips all the time, but they are usually either with my parents or to visit his family in Georgia. Rarely do we ever get a weekend away alone.

The only thing I’m not so excited about is this. There is a 90% chance of rain all day on Saturday. 



Mother Nature please do me a favor and make this rain disappear before our arrival tomorrow. K? Thanks.

I promise to bring home lots of pretty pictures to share with you on Monday.

In honor of our weekend road trip to watch some baseball I’ll leave you with this. Enjoy!
