Atlanta

Seems like this has been the year of road trips to (Ryder's) Grandpa and Grandma Christensen's house.  Our August trip down was especially fun.  First, I got to fly to Atlanta to visit my very best friend, Ashley (thanks to mom and dad for taking care of Ryder).  I hadn't been there for years, and it had been even longer since Ashley and I got to spend some quality time together.  This was a needed break for both of us and, needless to say, we had so much fun together.

I finally arrived in Atlanta 8 hours late after missing my flight out of LAX and got to stay at Ashley's adorable little house.  We got up early the next morning and drove to Hilton Head, SC where we lounged on the beach, ate crab, lounged on the beach, got a massage, late breakfast (by my request) at Waffle house, then back to Ashley's.



By the time we arrived back in Atlanta it was time for dinner and a show.  We ate at this totally authentic Italian pizzeria.  It was amazing, and it was exactly like eating pizza in Italy. So so so SO delicious. This is a "must see" if you are ever in Atlanta.

 The flick was pretty good too...can't go wrong with Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Emma stone in Crazy, Stupid Love!  And of course, it wouldn't be a night out for us unless we posed for a few pics, one in front of the theatre and one on a bridge with the Atlanta skyline behind us.

Next year, 2012, will mark 20 years of {best}friendship for Ashley and I!  We will definitely be getting together to celebrate that one!
