21Jul07Fun in Atlanta!
Erin made me take a little mini vacation (one night and a day :) this weekend. I have been so busy lately the thought of taking any time “off” sorta stressed me out a little but once we got there I totally embraced the no work thing! We stayed at the Omni Hotel at the CNN Center in the heart of Atlanta. There was only valet parking so we left the keys with the valet and headed in to check-in. When we came back down to go out to eat the valet could not find our keys for like 15 minutes :S Once he found them we took off for our favorite mexican restaurant Don Pablos. Back to the hotel for what I thought was going to be a little swimming on the rooftop pool but alas it was 10:05 and the pool closed at 10PM. So I walked around the hotel a bit and took a few pics out some of the windows and hallways… then we watched some tv til we went to bed.
Got up this morning and went to our new favorite grocery store in Mid Town… Trader Joes! Erin is in love with half the stuff in that store and I am in love with the prices. It is great stuff mostly organic and natural foods and the prices are like going to Walmart for must stuff! Then we hit up Ikea for some plastic bins that Erin needed for her classroom. Then we sped off to On The Border (another favorite mexican restaraunt). Fajitas all the way around. Then we raced home for a photo shoot I had this evening. As we pulled in the drive, I got a call saying that the shoot was off. Molly I hope your uncle is ok! Erin… Thanks for making me take a mini vacation and sorry it wasn’t longer!
Here are a few pics I took with my G5 from the weekend.

My girlfriend is a big fan of the swimming and me not so much. I think it disappoints her that I am not a fan of beaches and pools.
I am thinking about trying to find a nice slim camera to carry around with me all the time. It should number one take good pictures and number two be a Canon.
the lobby is really pretty btw.

Glad you had some time off!

Oh… and Matt… again, you are the master of finding the most beautiful pictures in the most mundane places. A hotel hallway!? I mean, come on! That’s impressive!

So do you get to keep the $0.59 bag or is it more like a rental?
We need to do an Atlanta trip with you guys soon. I’m glad you got to get away for a while. It looks like you had a great time! :)
