Georgia on My Mind

June 21, 2013 | Travel

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?

    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 🙂

    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 😉

    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

      June 24, 2013 at 6:28 am

      I love the container store! Unfortunately this was just a two day trip with an already jam packed schedule. Next time!

#ad For too long, retirement has been painted as “slowing down.” But for me? It’s the opposite.

I see retirement as the start of bold adventures, family memories, and the freedom to keep moving and exploring — whether that’s traveling, staying active, or saying yes to new experiences.

✨I’m protecting my passion 

Because the people I love, the life I’ve built, and the retirement I want — it’s all part of my life’s work. And @Prudential can help protect it.

Had the best time with @visitflorida in Nashville Had the best time with @visitflorida in Nashville recently! We spent the evening up on the rooftop at @whitelimozeennash at the @graduatehotels making @bouquetbox arrangements, and it was perfection. 💐 🍹 🌅 

I learned a lot about places in Florida I have never visited, and met some great people. Florida is the state we visit most, and while y’all know I’m a theme park girlie, there is so much more to see and we love adding on little side trips to explore each time we go! 

Here is a list of places we learned about, can’t wait to visit some of these! 🏖️ Thanks for inviting us!
