Weekend Visitors

Brooks and Caitlyn came to visit this weekend. They spent the day on Friday seeing the Picasso to Warhol exhibit at the High while Andrew and I worked. When the time to start the weekend finally arrived, we headed down to One Midtown Kitchen for some dinner!


I refrained from taking pictures in the restaurant, except for this shot of our "Mr. Spears" jumbo asparagus appetizer. We had a great meal!

On Saturday, they had a few things they wanted/needed to do around town, so we opted to head to Atlantic Station to eat, shop and just enjoy sitting outside. (Seeing a tweet about a Banana Republic sale may also have had something to do with this choice of destination.) Caitlyn had plans to head to a concert with a friend Saturday night, so the rest of us made other plans.


Chop, chop! It was perfect weather for taking in a Braves game!


We passed the new Kevin Rathbun Steak booth in the stadium. The booth sells sliced steak sandwiches with kettle chips. While priced slightly higher than our ballpark figure (ha ha) for food ($15.00), they smelled really tasty and were being served up by Kevin Rathbun himself.



They even had an on-site butcher!

We had great seats and a colorful cast of characters sitting around us, which always adds to the fun.


The Braves won, and my only complaint was that there wasn't enough focus on Brian McCann. Then again, I guess there can never be enough!


We all met back up this morning to head over to Front Page News for brunch. It was pretty warm out but looked like it might rain, so we sat in the covered area of the patio. Best of both worlds!


Another (unrelated) highlight was following @TitanicRealTime on Twitter throughout the weekend. They tweeted the Titanic voyage from different perspectives (crew, captain, first class, third class, etc.) in real time. It hit the iceberg while we were at the Braves games, and we all know what happens from there... But we thought it was a really neat way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking. You can check out the timeline of tweets here.


Hope you've had a great weekend too!
