How Many Modes of Transportation Can 3 Women Take in an 11.5 Hour Period?

Rhonda and Sherri came to visit last weekend and yes we had an adventurous day on Saturday. We started out at a craft fair in Cumming and then headed to Roswell's shopping district...


Loved this one store especially, it was a shop where everything was made out of recycled stuff (ok, I am not a recycler but the stuff in the store was great). Then we had lunch at the Salt Factory, yum. Now, all of this was done by car.

While driving down to Buckhead, there was a sign over the road alerting us to an accident up ahead, 3 right lanes were going to be closed. Sure enough, at about exit 5 (Kenny's work exit) the traffic backed up. I had this bright idea that we would just exit and hop on the MARTA and head to Buckhead....so that's what we did.


Only one small detail that I hadn't thought about. Where will the MARTA take us in Buckhead and if it's not in the middle of shopping or restaurants what are we going to do w/o a car??? Well, sure enough, it let us off in the middle of a bunch of tall buildings and no shops/restaurants.


So, after asking a few people on the street, where are the shops, etc, we hopped in a cab and took it about 10-15 mins away to Virginia Highlands. Never heard of it before, but we found some shops, etc.

Now, as evening approaches, how are we going to get back to the MARTA and to our car??? Guess we'll have to take a bus to the train station -- so we did.


Got to the train station safely and after realizing the first train we boarded was not going our way, we de-boarded just in time to successfully get on the right train which took us to the station we left the car at. But, we weren't done. Back in the car, to exit 8 for some dinner before heading back home.
On Sunday after church, we even squeezed in a trip to Dahlonega. Had a short time there, but still it was nice. The weather was beautiful all weekend. I hope they come back for another visit so I can try and top the adventure we had this time.

Kelsie's 1st Horse Show of the Season

It was a long day, but the weather was beautiful and Kelsie took home a 3rd place ribbon in her division, which is really great!
