{a-town adventures: st. patty’s weekend fun}

Hello friends!

How was your St. Patty’s Day weekend? Ours was pretty crazy. My cousin and her husband came to town so we made sure they had an extra special stay. We started out our Saturday at the Georgia Aquarium, one of the nicest and biggest aquariums in our region. We had a blast! The aquarium was divided into different themed sections and hosted fish and creatures from all over the world. My favorite part may have been the big ocean viewing room. It had this humongous glass wall and behind it, all these different sea creatures from whale sharks to tiny schools of fish. Another favorite was probably the dolphin show. All the dolphins were incredibly well trained performing all kinds of fun tricks. I decided dolphin trainer should be in the top five list of coolest jobs!

After the aquarium, we headed over to our friends’ place for nighttime St. Patty’s Day adventures. They took us over to this place called Flip Flops, a little beach house themed bar in Midtown. Their specialty appeared to be these alcoholic slushies---yum! I got the Jet Fuel which was soooo good! Downstairs there was a live band (w/a bongo drum) playing covers of some classic songs. Upstairs there was a live dj playing great mixes, a large open dance floor, another bar with the liveliest bar tender I have ever seen, and a roof top patio. When we had first arrived the place wasn’t very full so we had plenty of space to get our dance groove on, however as soon as we were comfortable, the dance floor quickly filled up. We had so much fun there I think we will definitely be heading back!

We ended our night at the Hudson Grill with wings and queso then took a nice upbeat stroll back home.

We had such an amazing time---it was definitely the best St. Patty’s Day we’ve ever celebrated!

I hope you all had a great St. Patty’s Day. It is one of the most fun holidays of the year!

What are your plans for this weekend? Anything fun?

So long for now,

The Mrs.
