Summer of 2026 Adventures

Atlanta

We have been enjoying this very hot summer with stateside fun with more adventurous travels planned in the fall. First up is our trip to Atlanta when we visited my sister and brother in law. Always fun and interesting places to explore and visit. 

Decatur, GA is interesting and fun to explore and steeped in history!

Courthouse in Decatur, Ga

I always enjoy going to one of the many local farmer's markets. So many beautiful options for local vegetables and great international foods and gifts. 

Miss Courtney loves this shopping!

Back in Atlanta for dinner

Pricci

A great dinner when you are craving Italian

July Fourth

We enjoy spending the Fourth with my sister and brother in law. You can depend on traditional Fourth fare, ribs and all the sides plus getting to spend time with my sister's sweet friends

And, a visit with sweet Lulu and she's already ready for pumpkin season!

I love her pumpkin color eyes!

Another long weekend getaway, to the beach. We can never get enough of the beach, except when it's so hot. So a few days will do ya!

For us, hot days at the beach are enjoyed sitting on a balcony sipping something cool and enjoying the view. Spring trips are for actually sitting on the beach under an umbrella when the cool breeze is all you need to make a day of it

The next best thing to enjoy is fresh gulf coast seafood. Of course nothing better to begin the evening than a little something for sipping. 

Gulf coast sunsets are amazing!

Labor Day

We were home for Labor Day so I set a table outside in the garden for a festive table for two.
