love of local in Utah
Spring Break 2019 Atlanta
ATLANTA! I feel like I have been jipped that I’ve only made it to Atlanta twice in my life. It is a really cool city! The culture, food, parks, museums, shops, etc. are incredible. However I would rather drive through just about any big city other than Atlanta.
While driving in we stopped and did the CNN Studio Tour which was quite interesting to see the behind the scenes at such a huge industry and channel. I want to say that Reagan and I enjoyed it the most, anyone that gets to be on a screen Reagan is interested in.
On our first day in town we loved being back in an international food scene, you can get just about anything there and people really pride themselves on their food. We also spend time walking in beautiful parks and preserves. Along high rises on elevated walks and up and down the town. Just walking around new cities is what Ty and I enjoy the most about getting to know a new city. The girls would NOT agree!
The next day we made it to sacrament in Atlanta and it was one of the most beautiful church services I’ve been to. It was also a big learning lesson as they had a very interesting talk given by someone with a lot of privilege and how the congregation responded opened my eyes. In their foyer they gave so much honor and respect to those that our history doesn’t given enough attention to. Beltline & Piedmont are incredibly stunning.
Afterwards we made it to Ponce Market which has to be my favorite foodie and shop market I’ve been to in the states. Even more than the large ones in NYC. We had so much fun spending hours here and even came back another day to get another fill. Gems were found that are still some of our favorite finds that we use or brands we continue to buy from.
Atlanta Aquarium was incredible! The dolphin show and whale shark make it worth is a thousand percent. We also on a whim went to the Cocoa Cola Factory. My girls love soda and we go through times where we limit it or ban it from the house for awhile. We had banned it from the house and wouldn’t let them get it when we went out to eat at this time. So when we were in the last part of the museum where you get to try dozens of different sodas they were in a sugar freenzied heaven.
Our family was also able to go to the Martin Luther King monument which ended up being one of the most influential moments in Ty and I’s life so far.
The place I was the most excited to go was the High Museum of Art, it turned out to be one of my favorite museums of all time. The interactive kid exhibits were wonderful and the art itself.
The pink popcorn trees outside were such fun to play around in.
We also went to Krog St Market, did a lot of walking, and met up with nieces and nephews that live nearby for pizza. Wish we could have seen them more, but we took what we could get!
