We went the Blue Ridge Mountains route to Atlanta instead of the dreadful I95.  It’s just gotten so congested that the last few times we’ve gone a distance on 95, it’s been somewhat torturous.  But this time we went I81 to I77 to I85 and it was beautiful and traffic free!  We still got to pass our ceremonious peach in the sky that has had “other” nicknames…

And we arrived in Atlanta just after dinner time on Monday the 17th.  We were so hungry, and excited to be back in this amazing city, that we of course made our way over to R. Thomas.  It’s a fabulous fresh/healthy restaurant.  I had the “Magic Potato” that was smothered in marinated portabella mushrooms, zucchini, onions and melted cheese.  It was truly magical!

Happily eating healthy...

My best friend, Tracey, came bouncing in from work after a long “Payroll Monday,” (which meant nothing to me until she began this payroll career…).  And the Atlanta trip was off to a great start!

I’m able to do yoga to this every morning…

So far we’ve been to…

Imagine It! - Atlanta's Children's Museum - Great for a day but more geared toward toddlers for repeat visits.

The Music is really alive and really well here! Check these guys out!

Went to a MOCA opening with Tracey... Look at this hopping Art Scene in Atlanta!!!!!

We went to an art opening at MOCA and I met up with two old ACA (Atlanta College of Art) professors Don Cooper, Corinne Colarusso.

I have a meeting set up with Don Cooper for Monday to catch up and see some of his new works.  Corinne has a show coming up at Sandler Hudson in February that I get to go to that as well.  So far this trip is coming along PERFECTLY!!!!
