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.

We're waiting to hear the answer to that. Probably an interesting one.
Yep - I was right.
God love you. You are so adaptable and fearless in unknown areas. I'm thinking back to the time you found your way home, after getting lost in the So. Bronx.
Sheri, where do you get the energy after spending a wk. in St. Louis? I'm sure you had a lot of laughs along the way.
Well, I didn't have alot of energy, I did poop out pretty fast, but we were having a great time. I have been waiting for these girls to come visit for 18 months!!! I need to give you a call and catch up -- where does the time go?
Your weekend reminds me of the movie: Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
By the way, I LOVE that black jacket...it looks great on you.
I have never watched that, but the title does sound like my day! ;-) Thanks on the jacket! I would like to see you!!!!
