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!

    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!

Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forg Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forge and had to share a travel hack for all my fellow moms planning summer getaways. 💡(ad)

We booked with @savvy_stay, which means no third-party fees, no fluff — just direct access to professional hosts and more room in the budget for fun. 🙌🏼 

They even have a price comparison tool on their site so you can see what you WOULD be paying if you went with “the other guys.”

Think: mountain views, family memories, and extra savings that actually make a difference. If Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge is on your list, do yourself a favor and check out Savvy first!

Pro tip: Visit now. Between Easter and Memorial Day is the perfect time to go. We arrived at 4:30 and every ride was a walk on and we stayed until closing! Perfect weather, great memories, and many more to come. 💙

Cheers to 40 years, Dollywood! 🎢
