The rents are in town....

My parents went on a cruise that ported out of Jacksonville a week ago and decided to drive back to Louisiana via Atlanta and stay the weekend with us!  YAY!!  Ben had Air Guard this weekend, but was able to spend Thursday and Friday lunch with us. 

The last time my parents were in town was for our wedding and our house was literally a tornado.  They LOVED seeing everything.  On Thursday night we went to the Atlanta Food Truck Park where we ate lots of yummies and then came home to celebrate mom's birthday (1 week late) with Gigi's cupcakes.  On Friday, we did our normal routine when they are in town - SHOP!  Macy's and Ann Taylor Loft are always the top shopping spots.  On Friday night we headed to the Braves vs. Mets game and stayed until the end - midnight!!  The electricity in Turner Field did go out for 15 minutes, so that was definitely an adventure. 

My parents wanted to take Georgia peaches home for several people and wanted to go to a Farmer's Market.  I suggested Kroger - HA!  We did go to the Sandy Springs Farmer's Market and basically tasted everything in site!  The only peaches at the market were from South Carolina, so they opted for some yummy Georgia Peach jelly. 

We let mom pick our dinner on Saturday night so we went to Chuy's for yummy mexican food.  They left early Sunday morning to head back to La.  It was so much fun spending time with my parents.  I love when they come visit!! 

On a different note, on Sunday, I got to see my friend Reid go public with his faith (baptism) at our church.  It was so neat to hear his story on the big screen and then see him get dunked!!  God is GOOD!!!
