LOVE HIM: Duluth, GA

August 7-9, 2016

Tony had some training for his job so we decided to make it a quick getaway too. And the sweet man had a bouquet of flowers waiting for me. 

Love him so.. for his sweet gestures thanking me for going through all I have been through the past few months.  It was much appreciated. 

 

We grabbed some food from TGIFriday's (if you call an hour wait "grabbing food")...and that was an entire too long of a wait to get the food plus it was cold & my chicken + shrimp pasta was actually without shrimp...hence the next night was on them.

The following day I ventured out to the local park, Shorty Howell Park, to get in some exercise.

Along the nice paved walk/run way was a lake with a plethora of ducks and geese.

 

I tried my first Bubble/Boba Tea with macaroons for lunch(not a fan at all, but staff was very nice and helpful with my first selection.) Shopped a little (p.s. Don't go to the Duluth mall...there is nothing there.) Then went back to the hotel...whom hadn't cleaned our room yet, so I headed to the pool for some rays.

And then that night, we tried to figure out my new selfie stick (it was a freebie from Sprint).

 

The following day I headed home stopping at a few outlet malls and grabbing some deals, but all-in-all it was a relaxing time away.

 

WHAT A DAY(WEEKEND): April 17-20, 2015

Tony & I  headed out on Friday morning to Carolina Beach, NC...stopping for breakfast first.

Tony drove the first shift, then I took over.

And then we arrived, I walked the beach while Tony took a cat-nap.

(and then scared the begeesus out of me when I came back...revenge is due)

And then it was rehearsal dinner time...YAY!  I get to see Jodi :)

After dinner, we headed to The Beach House for some bachelorette/bachelor fun, pool, drinks, and socialization.  Tony & I won the first round of pool with moi hitting in the 8-ball :)

 

On Saturday, I woke up solo to see the sun rise (or tried to see it), then headed to the infamous Britt's Donuts in the rain for our breakfast to-go.

Lunch was from the Shuckin' Shack....fish sandwich and shrimp taco.

A little break in the weather allowed for a quick walk on the beach before getting ready for wedding pictures and the wedding.

Jodi made the prettiest bride, and her nieces were adorable!!

Love her...and her photo bombing mom :)

Love him!!

The flower bouquets were so pretty and chocolates always make me happy.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Rich!!

After the reception, Tony wanted more Britt's ...ironically, the line was longer at 9pm than at 8am.

But we enjoyed them and the movie "Exodus" at the beach house.

Sunday was the best sunrise of the weekend...Loved it, but not so much the 6:30 am wake-up alarm.

The day was once again gloomy; so after a beach walk, my Uncle Ken stopped by for a chat.  Tony & I then decided to go for a bike ride up to the pier.  Saw some fishermen, but all they were catching was sharks.  Then it started raining again.

So we went to lunch at Michael's Seafood...YUMMY!

appetizer of Fish N' Grits

entrée of Seafood Mac 'n' Cheese Bake and Steam Pot.

And then to see the movie "Paul Blart 2"

Monday before we left, we took time to watch the sunrise.

And then it was home to Charlotte/Anderson for us.
