Memorial Day Weekend

Hope you've had a happy, fun, exciting, relaxing and/or whatever else you hoped it would be holiday weekend. :) {...and, that you've also taken a few minutes to remember the reason for the day, of course. I read up on the history of Memorial Day here.}

We've done a little of this and a little of that, but the weekend gets a thumbs up overall.

Saturday we went to Atlantic Station for lunch -- in part because we wanted to check out the Great Food Truck Race, which was filming there!

HodgePodge was selling comfort food, but we didn't try any. ($4 sweet tea...no thanks.) But, it was fun to watch! (The star of the show is Tyler Florence, but he wasn't at Atlantic Station. We heard he was out filming his "Host's Challenge" in the Highlands and then at the High Museum on Sunday. Then today we drove by the High, and there he was! Just standing on the sidewalk talking to the camera. No picture, though. Oh well.)

Sunday was spent almost entirely at the pool, where Brooks and Caitlyn joined us for mojitos before they went to the Braves game!

Today we had...

...Fox Brothers BBQ! Perfect for Memorial Day.

A few minutes after we sat down, some nice looking ladies arrived at the table next to us!

                                               Hi, Sarah & Rachel :)

We bid B&C adieu and made a quick trip by Andrew's [very quiet, a.k.a. empty] office, where an unfortunate locked-in-a-hallway incident occurred for one of us. But that's neither here nor there. Then, we made it in and out of Lenox in about 20 minutes, which is unheard of but certainly not unwelcome.

Tonight we had a cook-in (too hot to grill) and are (watching The Bachelorette and The Real Housewives of New Jersey) enjoying the rest of our holiday. Yay for a short week!
