Ok, we got into Atlanta just in time for rush hour traffic. It was horrible, but after 1 1/2 hours on the interstate we finally made it the 20 miles to our exit. We stayed in Duluth, GA at the Atlanta Marriott, Gwinnett Place. It was wonderful. They gave us an amazing room on the 15th floor with an awesome view! We were both exhausted from the car ride, but were willing to go back out for some Steak and Shake Burgers. They were delicious! We walked around Gwinnett Center Mall for a few minutes then went back to the hotel, turned on the tv and then tried to get some sleep. I could not sleep at all. I may have gotten an hour tops.
Saturday morning, after calling my babies to check in, we got all dolled up and went to the Georgia Mall. It was huge! I quickly realized I had on the wrong shoes for this venture. Our first stop was Old Navy for their famous $1 flip flop sale! Matt had to stand in line while I shopped. The lines were sooooooooo long. But we got 5 pair of flip flops for $5! It was worth it. Then, we proceeded to walk the entire mall. Taking our time and enjoying each little shop we went in. It was awesome not having to stop for diaper changes, rush because the kids were screaming, or pick up cheerios of the store floor while the clerk looked on with a disapproving face. We spent three and a half hours at the mall. Woo! I was exhausted after that. We went back to the hotel vowing we were not going to go back out. We went swimming in the pool and after about 30-40 minutes of relaxing by the pool, I found my second wind (or so I thought). We went out in search of an accessories shop looking for a new purse for myself. They had some awesome purses at the mall for like $60-$195!! I needed something a little less exspense. We finally found a Ross Dress for Less after driving about 20 mintues. I got a great purse. However, by this point my second wind turned out to just be a slight breeze. Matt had to take me to the hotel while he went out to find food and bring it back to me. I got straight in the bed and did not get out of it the rest of the night. We just sat there eating junk food and watching The International for an outrageous $13.99 on pay-per-view. Hey, we are allowed to splurge every now and then right? I again did not sleep very well. I slept a little longer than friday night getting about 3-4 hours of sleep.
The next morning I woke up at the crack of dawn. I took my shower very quietly and then sat in the dark for as long as I could before finally waking Matt up at 7:50am. I was so ready to see my babies. We had a good drive home and made it back by 11am (Alabama time). And after having our babies home and safe in their beds, I finally got some sleep.
All in all, a great weekend!
