Moonlit Jazz

We’re here in Atlanta!

It’s so wonderful having internet access on the road. 😆

A quick rundown of our time here so far…

We landed on Wednesday after a relatively comfortable flight. We didn’t have that long a ride to baggage claim and our luggage popped out one after the other when our flight’s stuff came out. Pretty cool! We got our rental (a Lincoln Town Car) and headed out to Norcross. My sister (aka the bride to be) called us on our way and met us at the Hilton after work.

First thing, our room was wrong. We were supposed to get a junior suite and instead got a regular room on the 10th floor (executive floor). We didn’t care about getting free breakfast and afternoon cocktails. My sister got our room situation straightened out the next day. 🙂

She took us to the Mellow Mushroom for pizza (with no mushrooms) and salad, then showed us a few sights within distance, namely the chapel and the gorgeous houses in the neighborhoods. Then we headed to her place.

I wanted to see the dogs, Hershey and Nike. Hershey is a lab/pit bull mix and Nike is a Yorkshire Terrier. He’s insane! And I say that with all affection. 😉 He’s so funny! Hershey doesn’t like having her picture taken but I’ve managed to take a few good ones. 😆 Nike is a licker, errr, lover and an ankle biter (at least he likes biting Hershey’s ankles).

My sister and brother-in-law have a lovely townhouse! I like it! 😀 We did some wedding stuff and just hung out. Twas good quiet time. Plus I got the little dog to cuddle with me. Awwww.

Our parents and cousins came in early Thursday morning and we all had our hair done at my sister’s salon in Buckhead. Van Michael is a rockin’ place! Busy busy busy! Linda was my stylist and she did a great job on my hair. I love it! 😀

My sister hooked us up with tickets to the Braves game against the vising Washington Nationals, so we headed out to Turner Field after a quick lunch at the Chick-fil-A. Turner Field is GORGEOUS. Who would have thought? Whenever they show it on tv, it doesn’t seem impressive. The playing field is just any other, but the surrounding stadium rocks. First off, there’s the “largest High Definition scoreboard in the world.” It’s AWESOME! Then there’s the 755 Club. We had access and it was great! We were the first patrons at the bar (TJ was our bartender) and we had nachos and beer before the place started filling up. We took a walk around, checked out our seats for a couple of minutes (didn’t sit in them for the game), then headed back up to the 755 Club to watch the game from there. We didn’t stay for the whole game, but the Braves did end up winning in extra innings. 😀
