I love Atlanta. Everything about it--the neighborhoods, the shopping, endless restaurant options, home of so so def records, and the list goes on. This visit was most fun because it was spent celebrating my dear friend Kristen's bachelorette festivities. Six of Kristen's nearest and dearest met in Atlanta for a fun-filled weekend. It was one for the books...good food, lots of laughs, and anything and everything for our sweet bride-to-be. Kristen and her friends from high school are some of the funniest people I know and their performance this weekend did not let me down.
I arrived late Friday night and met up with the girls in Buckhead. We frequented some of the local bars where it was made known that we had a bachelorette in the house. Saturday morning we all went to brunch in Virginia Highlands (I want to live here, end of story.) to store up energy and then it was off to Sips n Strokes art class. I love love loved spending the afternoon painting and laughing. There were about 50+ ladies in the class and we all followed a fun instructor as she demonstrated how to paint our whimsical flower. The concept for this studio is so marvy and I would love to open one in Tallahassee. Having paint on my hands all day...I would be in heaven. That evening we had a lingerie party for Kristen and then it was off to a great tapas restaurant called Loca Luna. They had a great 10 piece Spanish band and we ate and cha-chaed the night away!
I stayed at Carolyn's swanky house in Virginia Highlands and I made her get up early on Sunday and locate the ADPi headquarters because I knew it was somewhere near her house. Lo and behold, it was practically in her back yard! Then we hightailed it to Sandy Springs for one last food hoorah. We had brunch at Canoe overlooking the Chattahoochee River and the weather was absolutely beautiful outside. I had the blog-worthy brioche French toast with banana mascarpone (yummm) and fresh berries and walnuts and quite possibly one of the best tasting coffees I have ever had. After our last brunch together we all headed home. Every minute of the weekend was fabulous and we can't wait for Kristen to officially become Mrs. Klauk (we will have to get you a new sash!)!
See everyone in 54 days...
