I arrived in HOTlanta ready to visit my friend Christopher in a lovely suburb of the city. I had a great first day rocking out to some Nicki Minaj and walking around a lovely park while catching up.
Over the weekend, we had fun exploring the offerings of downtown Atlanta and had a fun night out with Tia, my old roommate from Memphis.
In the morning, we headed over to Mary Mac's Tea Room, one of the only existing tea rooms left in Atlanta and a place that many famous personalities and political figures have eaten at over the years. They had the most amazing southtern home cooking and more sides than anyone could ever dream of! I even bought a recipe book since I hope to bring the amazing home-cooked food they have to the Pacific Northwest.
Christopher and I were supposed to spend another night downtown, but with an expected snowstorm decided to head back to the suburbs for the night. The next morning, we awoke to almost a foot of snow...something that only happens once a decade or so in Atlanta. After watching a cooking show, we were inspired to venture through the snow to a neighborhood grocery store and buy all the ingredients we needed to make our very own homemade pizza (and might have made snow angels as well).
After my flight was delayed a day and then I missed my rescheduled flight due to a jackknifed semi on the freeway, I finally made it on the plane back to Seattle. It was a great trip indeed!
