Girls Weekend!!!

After Isaiah and I picked Joy up at the airport on Thursday, we went downtown and met Adam for lunch. This was my first time driving downtown and finding parking and walking to the destination all by myself. We did very well if I do say so myself!!!






We then dropped off Isaiah with a friend and headed out for our weekend. We headed to one of many malls, shopped (duh!) and then found our hotel. After a quick bite to eat at Chipolte it was off for more shopping.

Friday we headed out to get pedicures.







Angie had given us each of us Starbuck's gift cards....



So we stopped for a midafternoon snack!


Friday evening we headed to the Symphony. Despite that it took us an hour to get there (which is only 11 miles from our hotel) we had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed some great music.


(we took this picture before getting "in trouble" for taking pictures in the concert hall!)


We then went back to the hotel and relaxed--- with Hannah Montana!!!




Saturday we headed to North Georgia Premier Outlet Mall. It is about an hour north of the city so we enjoyed a nice drive, taking in all of the beautiful fall colors. After more shopping and dinner at Chili's (one of our favs) we headed back to my house. Here is us, worn out and with all our loot!


On Sunday before taking Joy back to the airport, we went the the Coca-Cola museum.






We could taste coca-cola products from around the world. The ones from Africa were our least favorite, but the other places had some good ones -- Isaiah definitely enjoyed it!




On Saturday night we watched "My Life in Ruins", so in honor of the movie here is us drinking the pop from Greece.


After all the other flavors, it was nice to have some "real stuff"!



It was sad to see my dear friend leave but we had a wonderful weekend! And despite the distance, our friendship will always remain!!! I love you Joy!
