Parents week

So my folks come down every year for a week to visit. Last year we were hold up in the house the entire time re-tiling the entire master bathroom. I almost killed my dad with all the work. They actually stayed a day longer to finish. We worked till 11pm several nights.

Anyway my dad said at least 15 times that this trip would not be as hard as last year, I was totally on board with that. They arrived Wed night. I made dinner, stuffed red peppers, while they chilled and got settled.

The next day was full of projects around the house, planted some flowers and a tree in the back yard, went to our first of many trips to Lowes and cleaned all the windows and drapes. All in all a good semi-busy day. Made dinner and they met Adam for the first time. The meeting went well. good conversation was had and we ended up playing UNO after dinner and laughed at my dad's stories.

Friday morning we did a few more small projects before Mom and I hit the Lenox mall.
She really spoiled me with a big purchase at Anthropologie. They were having a big sale. I LOVE THIS STORE. I could have bought almost everything.



after Lenox my mom got her hair cut and colored by my folks at James Madison. Sarah and Brett did a great job, the color looked really good.

Saturday we had a huge day. We planned to golf in the morning at 9:30am.
Due to the cold weather and frost our tee time was moved back to 11am shot gun start. We hit brunch at thumbs up before heading to Stone Mountain to golf. The weather was still a little cold but the views were really pretty.



we played till about 4pm. we rushed home to shower up, meet Adam and head to Atlantic Station for dinner and Cirque du Soleil. Dinner was a mess. Every place was an hour plus wait. we ended up eating at Doc Green's, the only place without a line. The highlight of the night was the show. it was great. My favorite were the contortionists. They were super flexible and really strong.





Thanks Mom and Dad.

Sunday was kind of a later start day. My mom was looking for a gift for my Aunt Carol so we went to Phipps. Later that day we got facials at Spa Sydell. They were nice and relaxing. Laura came over for dinner, wine and more UNO. I made stuffed shells and steamed veggies.

Came back to work today and my folks went golfing again.
