A few weeks ago, my awesome husband told me not to make any plans for the weekend after our anniversary.\u00a0 He said that he had asked his mom to come down and keep Emma and that we would be going away for the weekend.\u00a0 Just to give you a frame of reference…this is a crazy time of year for a middle school\/high school principal.\u00a0 Especially coming off of our upper school, 6th grade, and 7\/8th grade fall retreats that have taken me away from my family the past two weeks.\u00a0 The main thing I always want to do after those retreats is go home and rest and catch up.\u00a0 That is probably why we really needed to take some time and go away…even just for 24 hours.\u00a0 Clint and I celebrated our 8th anniversary on August 23 and it has been an awesome 8 years.\u00a0 I am so grateful we had an opportunity to get away for a little bit to just be the two of us and remember how fun it can be to eat together just as adults!\u00a0 We missed our sweet Emma, but knew that she was having a blast with Granna.<\/p>\n

We left the house Saturday and started by visiting the Georgia Tech Bookstore (my choice) so that we could pick up some new GT wear for the fall.\u00a0 Our family loves walking around the bookstore and looking at all the new stuff.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From there, we went to have lunch at No Mas Cantina<\/a>.\u00a0 The food was great and the atmosphere was really cool!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After lunch, we headed over to Phipps Plaza to see Crazy, Stupid, Love.\u00a0 I wouldn’t recommend it to teenagers, but we are big Steve Carrell fans and thought it was pretty funny in parts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We walked around Phipps for a while and then checked into our hotel, the Westin Peachtree before heading out to dinner at Two Urban Licks<\/a>.\u00a0 The hotel was really nice!\u00a0 The Westin Peachtree is the tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere and the home of the famous Sun Dial.\u00a0 Two Urban Licks is a great restaurant with a ton of atmosphere.\u00a0 It is an old warehouse that has been converted into a really cool space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After dinner, we decided dessert would be good and the hot sign was on!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We came home Sunday morning around 10:30 after a great breakfast in the hotel restaurant.\u00a0 Fortunately…Emma was glad to see us!\u00a0 We had a great weekend away.\u00a0 I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend some time just with Clint.\u00a0 I love dating my best friend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
