Week in Greenville

I got back from the bachelorette party on Sunday and was able to enjoy the rest of the week in Greenville with my mom, who's a teacher and since it was the week before school started she only had to go in for meetings and to set up her room. Such great memories - I miss her already but it was easier to leave knowing I'll be back soon for Kacie & Genevieve's weddings.

On Tuesday I drove down to Atlanta to visit John while he was training - he had a lot of down time in the evenings so I got there around 5pm when his training was finishing for the day and we went out to dinner at a really great sushi place, then went to the pick up some dessert at the Cheesecake Factory and we brought it back to the room. We were also able to enjoy a private evening swim in the pool since no one else was apparently in the mood for a swim! It was a very nice visit with my hubby :)

Our delicious sushi!

Mom and I had such a great time meeting for lunches and then going to the pool in her neighborhood for an hour or so to just bob around in the warm water. We went to Olive Garden for lunch one day and it was absolutely incredible - I've been to Olive Garden a hundred times but for some reason we just had the best meal with sharing appetizers and dessert and coffee - yummm. Then we went to Stella's in Simpsonville for lunch another day and it was also amazing. I was able to grab lunch with Lindsey at Strossners one day which was also a lot of fun. We also had some great dinners - the first night I got into town we met at Blue Ridge Brewing Company downtown, then another night we went on a culinary "Tour de Greenville" at the Cazbah, High Cotton, and Sobys.

Lastly - we stopped for a "blow job" shot at Muraski - never thought I'd be doing that with my mom but she's really our best friend so it was the perfect end to the night :)

I drove home all day on Friday and am already looking forward to getting back down there in about 2 weeks for the weddings!!
