After my daughter and I got our pedicures, we then went to go pick up her friend and headed off to do some shopping. First at a shopping area called Atlantic Station,

then to a mall called Lenox. I decided that it was easier for us to take the train to downtown so that we could grab some food. It was way too much traffic and I'm sure I would've never found a place to park. So I parked the car in the mall parking deck and we headed over to the train station (less than a block away) and got on the train to go to Hard Rock. When we got there, the wait (at Hard Rock) was about 45 minutes; so we walked over to the Westin Hotel and had taken the express elevator (72nd floor) to the Sun Dial. It was awesome!

Daughter racing down the train station escalator - she's terrified of this thing!
Then the girls decided that after they'd finished eating, they wanted to see a movie (it was to start at 9:55 pm). We left Hard Rock around 8:35 pm - then had to hall butt to get to the train - then to the mall (Lenox) - to the car - to the Interstate - to home to take care of Levi - then to the movie theatre. We got to the movies at 9:55 pm. We actually made it!
All in all we had a pretty good weekend. And to top it all off - it was like 75 degrees on Saturday and sunny :-)
But now it's Monday...it was a cold day, and in some parts of Atlanta there was snow and sleet and rain....*sigh*

sounds like a grand bday celebration! it was the perfect day to be in atlantic station. i thought abt heading there to go to h&m and then i realized i was broke :-/
what movie did you ladies see?
That's funny! Actually I was broke too...my daughter must think I make dollars - literally.
We went to go see Repo Man...very bad in my opinion. Just a dumb movie to me altogether.
I love Atlantic Station - and its nice and close to IKEA! I love Lennox too - they have a nice big Sephora in there!! Much more than Phipps, which I call the "looking only mall". Ok, I am clearly needed a visit to the ATL!
Repo man looked icky! Hope it wasn't too bad!
Sounds like you guys had an awesome day!!
that bag is beautiful!
sounds like a fun time. glad she had a nice bday. love your outfit and the addition of color with your pretty bag.
@Bianca - next time you come to Atlanta let me know! We could totally go shopping! Oh, Repo Man was seriously bad.
@kot-itsa - thanks for your comment - that bag is my favorite!
@D - We had a ball! Thanks so much for the comment.
