Hello world

Where the heck have I been? Well, in Atlanta for starters since last month was NO TRAVEL month. What have I been doing? I'll give you the rundown in the following photos. Also, this blog is a good commentary on my good intentions in general. They don't always pan out the way I plan or desire. So goes round three of my good intentions of blogging weekly. A renewed commitment...once again :)


Hives...I went to the ER (after going to a full day of work). I looked SO bad that the woman behind the counter at the ER STOOD UP when I came in and called the charge nurse. I didn't even get to sign in. This picture shows me 95% BETTER! I looked like one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's vampires.

Minus the scary teeth


Then, Benny and I and Ben's sister--my sister :) went camping in N.C.


We played a ton of Settlers of Catan (love it...though I didn't...and hardly ever...win)


And ate lots of delicious camp fire food (s'mores and silver turtles!)


And even went to the Biltmore courtesy of my sweet Grandma.


And then visited Ben's grandmother's childhood home in Forest City, NC.


And then we exploited staying in Atlanta by:

Going to Chateau Elan with my parents and sister, Chelsea

Our wine guide even shared with us how to make your own port...delicious!

Going to a Drive-In movie:


Going to the local high school football game a couple of blocks from our apartment (for their homecoming) with an awesome view of the midtown skyline.


And going to a Brave's playoff game


I'll update soon about October: no running month.

    Also, I support your no running month, I have been supporting that habit on my own for years now.
