Happy Saturday! This weekend we are visiting the Atlanta area with my family. Most of you probably don’t know this, but I lived in the suburbs of Atlanta for nearly seven years as a small child. We came back to do some business and visit with some old friends and are having a great time so far! (Hence why I have been so scarce on social media!)
We did some driving around today, so much has changed since I was here ten years ago. I really enjoyed Suwanee, what a beautiful area!
Tomorrow we have some things planned, and we are looking forward to a great day. I will be back on Sunday and will get back to a normal routine with posting etc. Have a good one!
QOTD: Who all lives in the Atlanta area? Do you like it?
Karyn says

Hi Heather,
My sister lives in Atlanta and every time I visit her, she always tour me around to historic and beautiful places. Some places that I already visited are the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Atlanta History Center. It was a great experience. Anyway, Have a nice weekend! 😉

My dad lived in Roswell for a while and I loved visiting him the week between Christmas and New Years. Unfortunately this Floridian didn’t get to see snow any of those years but I did have fun going to the aquarium and doing other fun touristy things 🙂
Jen says
Yay! If you’re bored today, head north on 85 for about 4 hours 😉
Heather says
i know right? 🙁
Jen says
I live about 20 minutes from Suwanee 🙂 I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life and I do love it. Hope you have a nice visit! There’s a cute little local pet shop at the Suwanee town center if you go back…homemade treats and other cute stuff 🙂

I grew up in Fayetteville, GA and now live in Cartersville, GA with my husband and 2 boys. Hope you have a great time while you’re here!! Make sure you stop at the Varsity for a “frosted orange” to stay cool 😉

Heather says

We love in Midtown ATL. It’s awesome! Amazing restaurants and churches! But aside from the traffic 🙁 the hardest part about living in ATL in that you are so far from WDW and the beach, so we are planning a move to Florida ASAP.

Make sure when you are over there to allocate some time for Trader Joe’s and The Container Store. Two of my favorite places in Atlanta.
Heather says
I love the container store! Unfortunately this was just a two day trip with an already jam packed schedule. Next time!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I live in ATL! I’m in Midtown. it’s gorgeous today – if you have time start in Piedmont Park and walk along the beltline. Let me know if you need any recs!
Heather says
