Stayed at the Renaissance Hotel right at the airport with a view of the planes landing and taking off. On Friday night we went to a baseball game at Sun Trust Park to see the Braves play the Colorado Rockies, we lost. But it was a beautiful park, we had great seats and we enjoyed it.
Saturday we went to the Georgia Aquarium which we didn't enjoy---too crowded, too many baby buggies and too many displays that weren't live fish.
For lunch on Saturday I asked Siri to find us a restaurant near the aquarium and she gave us a list and I chose Benihana's. We haven't been to one of those is years. Love the cooking done at your table. Mac had Calamari and Scallops and I had Shrimp. Both meals came with mushroom soup, fried rice and fried veggies. It was so good. I ate the most food that I've eaten in months. It was fun to watch what the other folks at the table had too.
We took a car service to get around town, neither of us can do too much walking. We had the same driver the whole time, we would call and he'd come and get us. Really nice gentleman from Ghana.
Atlanta has always been the largest city in Georgia, but it's gotten huge and the traffic was awful. Glad we live down here on the coast.

It sounds like a wonderful trip! You look so happy in that photo. I'm very glad to know you're feeling good and getting back to traveling again, I know it's important to you. I would really like to visit Atlanta. I was actually born there. My family is not from there, but my parents lived there for a few years and my sisters and I were born during that time. I haven't been there since we left when I was just under six years old, but I remember a lot! Someday I'd love to go back. In the meantime, I really enjoyed reading about your visit. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat visit, fun photos, love Badger and the question is was it cooler there ?
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip and badger
Sounds like a great trip. I bet it was relaxing being driven to wherever you wanted to go:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a well deserved trip after all you have been through. So nice to see you out and about again.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to hear that you were able to take a little trip! That meal sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteLovely trip. Atlanta is ginormous. I cannot imagine being there.
ReplyDeleteHow nice for the two of you to have a weekend get-away. Don't blame you for using a drive service - traffic in Atlanta - whew!
ReplyDeleteOh bless you, you were in MY neck of the woods! (Or close to it anyway!)
ReplyDeleteOur son lives in Cobb County, near SunTrust Park. Do you see why we hardly ever see him.. We can't stand that Atlanta traffic. It is TERRIBLE!!
Glad y'all had a good time. You look good by the way!! :-)
It sounds like such a nice trip. I'm not a city person either, but it's exciting to get out like that sometimes. Cool restaurant!
ReplyDeleteA well organised trip by the sounds of it. Like the look of that restaurant.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic trip especially as you have been able to get away recently.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great trip, and how lovely to know that you are doing so well.
ReplyDeleteI've often fancied a meal prepared at my table but never found a place that did it. So pleased you had such a good time on the trip and well done that taxi driver. There aren't many like him around.
ReplyDeleteGlad you’re up to a little travelling now. That meal sounded delicious. Never been to Atlanta but my youngest son visited there last year and thoroughly enjoyed his time. B x
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you two went on a little vacation. That is a good picture of you! You look so pretty! That Badger playing a guitar! He must have had fun too.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds super fun and well deserved after all your treatment and such. Very nice to get away and enjoy it so!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had an enjoyable trip. You look so happy on the photo, it is a joy to see you with this big happy smile. x
ReplyDeleteYeah for a few days away! !
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time :)
ReplyDeleteSo good to read about your trip.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the photographs, and what a happy person you look in your photograph.
Take care
All the best Jan
I am so glad that you got to go on a trip and had a great time. You deserve it! I cannot believe you have a neighborhood alligator !!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't get to visit blogs as often as I'd like, so I'm way behind on news and, having read your post above, skipped back to catch up. it strikes me you're doing amazingly - and are doubtless amazing too! Your trip sounds fun. I know what you mean about traffic; I wonder whether we've now peaked on independent car travel and that, in future, we (or our heirs) will get around in some different way. Love the header image; reminds me of somewhere...
ReplyDeleteA few days away is always a good thing. Glad you enjoyed your trip, and that the traffic didn't spoil it, but just made you gladder you live where you live!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful trip and you're looking so well, it's lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you that you were able to get out and about.
ReplyDeleteI've heard the horror stories about the traffic in Atlanta! We went there for a quick weekend visit once when we lived in South Carolina (visited the Coca Cola museum) and always wanted to go back to see the aquarium. It never did happen, and then we moved to Florida. Glad you had such a nice time!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! A car service in the ATL makes all the sense in the world! Driving up there is worse than driving in L.A. or NYC!! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for the good and useful information and like your creativity, it made me read a lot around and it was a great trip.
