Being Tourists in Our Own Town #atl | Mommy and Me Monday | 133rd ed.
It’s time again for Mommy and Me Monday. Pop out from behind that camera and capture yourself in action with your kids. Check out the inaugural Mommy and Me Monday for more information.
Sometimes it’s fun to be a tourist in your own town. This weekend, we did that.
First stop, the Atlanta Zoo. It was pretty funny to hear the girls tell us how “disgusting it smells”. Apparently they didn’t realize that the animals and their poop stink. E and me just hung out for most of our trip. She really is quite happy in the Ergo.
#2 only wanted to see the kangaroos, but we got to see most of the animals.
After our trip to the zoo, we went all out and headed to The Varsity. It’s definitely an Atlanta landmark and “must do.” It’s definitely NOT healthy or nutritious, but everybody has to go there. Apparently, everybody from the Clemson v Auburn and Braves games were also there to check it out. We waited over 20 minutes in line to order and get our food.
They all enjoyed it (E even snacked on some tomato from my sandwich). It was a nice day out and about enjoying our town.
What did you do this weekend? What’s your favorite thing to do in your town?
**There really is only one requirement here, a picture of you and your baby or babies; your children, your “baby” (ie significant other) or even your fur babies. If your picture doesn’t feature you (meaning you must be in the picture), I will have to delete your link. It’s not fair to the others that follow the rules.**
I try to make sure and visit all of you and leave some comment love. Please spread the love! And, I never mind the comments, either:)
Zoo tickets provided. We paid for our food at The Varsity:)
Now that sounds like a fun day! Great pics! 🙂
Zoos are so much fun!
Looks like you all had a lot of fun. 🙂 When we go to the zoo, my daughter only wants to see the monkeys, and I’m afraid of monkeys lol.
That is funny! The chimps were a little crazy this time.
yes, the zoo is stinky. I think so too! 🙂 but we love it anyway, right?
Yep..totally do:)
cute pics!
love the pic of you..sweet glasses 😉 Thanks for hosting!
Thanks! My hubby makes fun of them, but I like them!
Looks like you had a great time. Love the shot of you and the reflection in your sunglasses!
I wish I could say I did it intentionally:) The glare was so bad I could barely even see my screen!
I love this post! I just bought a groupon deal and we’re taking Baby S to the zoo as family time for my birthday in a few weeks.
Have a great time. I recommend getting there first thing when they open. By noon it was packed.
That looks like a fun place.
I saw The Varsity on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives before. The food looked really good! And I love a good trip to the zoo… 🙂
I don’t know if “good” is the way to describe it….chili dogs and burgers and fries. It’s more comfort food and a tradition, I guess.
Totally did the tourist in our town thing too! Went to the outdoor waterpark and then the classic Minnesota State Fair… good time 🙂
That reminds me..I need to figure out when the North Georgia fair is here. We try not to miss it!
i love being a tourist in my own town!! especially my new town 🙂
and the varsity? that looks like something i might just fall in love with!
Did the girls drink an F.O.? Mmmmmm.
We got a large and shared….yum:)
The last time we went we really wanted to feed the giraffes but for some reason they were closed
