We love traveling but there are times that we can’t go far far away. So we love taking weekend trips. These trips allow us to escape the real world & just have time for each other. It is so important to reconnect often.
Atlanta is a six hour drive for us but we enjoy driving to Atlanta. We get to spend that time in the car talking, singing, and fantasizing about different things.
Recently, we went to Atlanta and really played like we were tourists. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Norcross. This hotel has recently had a major renovation. The room was a typical Marriott room that we have come to love. You know the hubby and I laughed about the renovation because we talked about how sometimes us as humans hate to under go a major renovation in our lives but it is so necessary at times. Renovations are good to remove out the old or the useless items and bring in fresh updated things. When was the last time you renovated your life/marriage?
We also visited restaurants we have never visited in Atlanta. Our favorite restaurant we visited was JC’s. This little quaint restaurant was perfect for breakfast. The atmosphere invited all to chat and eat. There was no loud music playing, the wait staff was pleasant. Oh & the food was good to.
We even visited Underground Atlanta. I haven’t been to the Underground in I know about 15 years. It was great to visit and look and just see how the Underground has changed.
Overall, our trip was great. We love taking these short drives to escape everyday life. I know its not as easy to always just leave the real world but its as easy as taking a drive and just laughing and talking about each other.
