the atlanta trip

we just came back from our atlanta trip. we checked in at holiday inn express from friday till monday..it was so relaxing..i just love the room service as i do not have to clean up my bed ..
we arrived friday night after having a free dinner at cracker barrel..it was free because a fly landed in my mashed potatoes and swam in the gravy..their manager apologized, replaced it and did not charge me for it..had we shared bill my friends would had theirs free as well..their loss..hahahha..
back in atlanta , it was 40's..luckily, i had b bundled up as i checked the weather before i packed..he slept in his car seat the whole night and i did not bother to wake him up..
saturday morning , we went to centennial olympic park,i cant stop myself from trying the ice skates so i plunged in as h & b watched me..i am proud to say that i did not trip nor fall on the skating rink..i was too slow according to h and the video he took..it was fun..then we had lunch at cnn, then shopped at ikea..h and i argued over a window treatment..i am happy with my blinds in the living room but h insists on replacing it with ala japanese panel..i just know it wont blend with my furnitures but he insists..after all, he will be the one to drill the wall and install it..i dont like it but i gave in anyway..i asked him 10 times if he really likes it and he said yes.. our ikea bill is the highest among the 4 families.. we had 10 shopping bags kaya..haaayyy..
how can i forget to mention dimsum? we just love the dimsum in doraville. we had dinner saturday night and we came back the next day, right after the sunday mass at st thomas the apostle catholic church. their servers were surprised to see 8 hungry tummies (oh make that 12 plus babies) and they provided us with excellent service. it was just delicios and price is so cheap..really cheap..h cant stop munching their roasted pig and chicken feet..i am happy with my siomai and buchi..oh and the soup, spinach w tofu is baby's fave...plus congee..
after dimsum, we went to georgia aquarium. they claim to be the biggest aquarium in the whole world. this is a real treat..we stayed in their humongous aquarium and it was so relaxing to look at those sharks, whales.., we touched the stingrays, explored all the places and our favorite is the one sponsored by home depot, the ocean voyager!!b loves that so much that he fell asleep..the music being played inside the small dome lulled him to sleep..good for us!
we left the hotel monday morning and i cant believe our vacation is over..hanging our with our friends was special. hopefully our next vacation will be longer and more meaningful as we shall be with our families and friends..pilipinas, here we come!!woohoooo!!!
