    Atlanta Botanical Garden

    My mom came to visit Atlanta this past weekend.  It was her first time visiting since my husband and I moved to Atlanta last summer. Since the weather in Atlanta was beautiful I planned outdoor activities for the weekend.  On Saturday my mom and I walked around Piedmont Park and caught the end of the farmer’s market. I took my mom to the Piedmont Park pond and then to the Atlanta Botanical Garden.  The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a 30 acre botanical garden located adjacent to Piedmont Park.  Since my mom loves gardening, I knew she’d love visiting the gardens.

    Jeremy and I were in Charlottesville this past weekend celebrating his friend, Porter’s wedding.

    Martha’s Vineyard Part 2

                 


    Lanie and Brian’s wedding was on Saturday October 15 at the Martha’s Vineyard Sailing Camp.  The Martha’s Vineyard Sailing Camp is on 15 wooded acres and sits high on a Bluff and overlooks the Lagoon Pond and outer Vineyard Haven Harbor.  The view for the wedding was spectacular and something out of a romantic movie.  I kept asking myself when Ryan Gosling would appear… Lanie and Brian’s wedding reception was held inside the Martha’s Vineyard Sailing Camp facility and featured timbered vaulted ceilings and a fieldstone fireplace. The entire wedding was so cozy and beautiful. Lanie really outdid herself on planning her wedding.  Continue reading

    Martha’s Vineyard Part 1


    Last weekend I was in Martha’s Vineyard celebrating my college roommate and sorority sister, Lanie’s wedding!  Lanie’s family has had a house in Oak Bluffs for generations and she has spent every one of her summers at Martha’s Vineyard.  I visited her the summer after we graduated college and I fell in love with the island.  Brian (her now husband) proposed while they were vacationing on the island and I was hoping she’d get marred on Martha’s Vineyard.  So when I got the wedding invitation I was so pumped to spend a weekend at Martha’s Vineyard again.  It takes planes, trains and automobiles to get to Martha’s Vineyard, but when you get to the island it’s completely worth it.  Continue reading
