wedding travels…

Hooray for weekends in Atlanta! 

Rich had a wedding in Atlanta this weekend, and since last week was our anniversary, Alana and I happily accompanied him to be able to spend some time together! 

The bride and groom were Monique and Jeremiah, a beautiful, super fun couple that we have had the pleasure to get to know this year. Rich will post a wedding blog soon, but you can see their engagement photos here if you would like! 

We drove down on Saturday morning and spent a leisurely day together, checking in to our hotel, catching some Olympic coverage, scouting out the wedding location, and then grabbing dinner at a nearby restaurant! 

 

Alana cracks me up…she sees the camera and immediately looks at me to see what I am doing 

 

Sweet Pea…

 

Sleepy Sweet Pea

 

Alana found this mirror in the hotel room and, after smiling at herself, decided to give a slimy, wet kiss to her new friend. So cute. 

 

 

Since Rich was shooting all day on Sunday and Alana and I didn’t need to be at the wedding until 4, we stopped at a local Target (one of our favorite places!) to grab some baby things we needed.

We also had a chance to sit and enjoy Starbucks together. Okay, Alana had Gerber Puffs while I savored a Decaf Soy Latte. It was fun girl time. I truly love spending time with little Alana. She is so sweet, and incessantly makes me laugh out loud! 

 

 

The wedding was beautiful and I can’t wait to see the photos. We flopped into bed late Sunday night, exhausted and ready to sleep!

On our way home this morning, we stopped at a Chick-Fil-A for some quick breakfast, and it turned out to be the original location, called the “Dwarf House.” So, being the self-portrait-obsessed people that we are, we knew it was time to snap a few photosI love Alana’s face in this photo! 

 

I don’t know the story behind the name of this Chick-Fil-A or why this dwarf door exists, but I am sure it has an interesting tale. We were in a hurry to get back so we didn’t spend any time reading all the literature inside about the history and origin of the restaurant, but it was a fun stop nonetheless. 

 

 

And so, that was a recap of our weekend, and I would like to give a shout out to Monique and Jeremiah! Congratulations on your wedding! We are so happy for you two and were so honored to be part of your day!
