well this past weekend was jammed pack with so much fun that i should probably make multiple posts; instead, it's just going to be a jumbo post full of fun and photos. sound good? alright, let's begin. the weekend started off at the braves game. i love this view of turner field because it encompasses everything atlanta. and it is fabulous. unfortunately this was my only picture of the night and i had to miss the friday night fireworks because i had to leave early.
turner field.
saturday tyler and i relaxed and went to atlantic station for the afternoon/evening. we went into some shops, got a candy snack, ate dinner at cpk {code for california pizza kitchen} and went to the movies. we saw grown ups. it was pretty funny. probably a better rental since it costs $11 these days to see a movie in theaters. regardless, it was a wonderful day.
for the 4th we packed up and went to beautiful lake lanier. the weather was so perfect and i don't think i have ever laughed so much in one day. i felt like i was on the tv show last comic standing. everyone had jokes to tell which made it a really fun day. we went swimming, one round of tubing {due to a hole in the tube}, and ate way too many chocolate chip cookies and red velvet sandwiches. talk about fun.
we ended the day with a yummy cookout and a pontoon ride to watch the fireworks show on the water. the highlight of the boat ride was when we made friends with another pontoon boat. the boat was loaded down with tourists and just happened to be lost and without lights on their boat. we told them to stay close and that we would guide them back safely to their boat rental place after the fireworks. after about 10 minutes of watching this boat we quickly realized that the driver clearly had never driven a boat before. the best part of the what seemed to be 3 hour tour was when the tourists started weighing down the front too much and the pontoon boat started sinking. oh my gosh, you would have thought you were watching a scene from titanic. all 20 something of the passengers jumped up, put on their life vests, and got to the middle of the boat as the captain yelled "mayday! mayday!" we calmly told them to redistribute their weight which quickly solved their problem. we finally got them back to their dock after a good hour of creeping along the lake. definitely an unforgettable 4th of july.
we spent the night on lake lanier at our friend kirkley's house. the griffeth plantation is what i like to call it :) it is heavenly. we woke up monday morning to fresh blueberry scones with honey and a kitchen full of love. both the blueberries and honey come from the land. how fun! the day was full of tubing, swimming, snacking, and spending time with college friends. it was so perfect that it was almost too good to be true. i felt like i was dreaming.
fourth of july perfection.
