MORE KUDOS FOR ATLANTA

I spent another weekend in Atlanta and every time I go there, I love it even more ! I love big cities - New York and Atlanta being my two favorites. There is more to do than one can possibly imagine. Choosing a restaurant from among the hundreds of choices can be challenging but three of our choices were Ray's in the City for seafood on Saturday night, a little bistro at Atlantic Station for Saturday lunch and the famous hole-in-the-wall burger joint , George's , in Virginia/Highland, which has the best burgers in three states. Amy wanted me to branch out and try a blue cheese burger but I stuck with the regular and it was delish ! They have at least 10 or 12 choices of burgers - think I'll try something new next time.

In honor of Heidi, I wish I could remember the description of my blackened Mahi-Mahi which included a shrimp-crab remoulade, some kind of scrumptious spinach side and their famous mashed potatoes but in spite of my inability to adequately describe it, it was heavenly !! Ray's guarantees that no seafood is served which is more than 48 hours from sea to table . They fly it in 5 times daily.

Amy and Eric's house in Atlanta is adorable ! AND the location could not be better. Close enough to town to be in the middle of everything but it also has its own little neighborhood where people walk their dogs, stroll their babies, hang out at little sidewalk cafes, play frisbees in the park, etc. I'm sure they would love hosting their friends for a visit to their cool city !

Come to Atlanta and see for yourself ! It's awesome !
