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!
A great dinner when you are craving Italian

ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your vacation photos!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun seeing your vacation photos!
ReplyDeleteEmily, Thomas Jefferson never looked better! Fun with family are the best times! Wishing you a delightfully colorful and cooler fall!
ReplyDeleteYou had the best of both worlds visiting your sister in Atlanta and exploring the history in Decatur while squeezing in some shopping . Your Gulf Coast sunset is so vibrant and peaceful. Hoping your weather cools down soon and you can enjoy some crisp fall days. Happy almost Fall!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your photos from summer vacation! Sure looks beautiful in Atlanta. We are all looking forward to cool temperatures after this hot summer. Can't wait to see your fall decor. Enjoy reading your blogs from a Canadian follower..
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to "travel along" with you from my chair!! I haven't been to Decatur so it was nice to see highlights of your trip! As for the beach, early mornings or after dinner is when i enjoy the beach the most - no more sunbathing for me! Happy fall!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've had a very good season with some fun travel, family and shopping. I would go nuts at that market! I'm glad you brought a big bag! Lulu is a gem and so perfectly framed with that wonderful photo. And how fun to max some sightseeing with dining, shopping and history. I hope that the season is treating you well and that you are looking forward to fall! Happy September!
ReplyDeleteEmily, a lovely way to spend summer visiting your sister in Atlanta. Paul lived in Atlanta for 10 years.Decatur looks interesting, especially the courthouse. The gulf sounds amazing with beautiful sunsets and great seafood. The markets look like a wonderful place to shop.i could spend a lot of time there. Your patriotic table for two is lovely. Thanks for taking us along Emily. Happy Autumn.🍂
ReplyDeleteEmily, I enjoyed seeing snapshots of your summer excursions. Yes, cooler temps are still not hitting Austin, and the entire country has suffered this summer. Your family beach trips always remind me of my youth, growing up on the Gulf Coast. Happy Autumn, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteEmily, we just love Atlanta. My husband served his mission there as a 19 year old. He said he wanted to go foreign and was a little disappointed, and then when he went to the South, he said he felt like he got a foreign language and foreign food! haha!!! He loved it. We got to go back for a work trip.
ReplyDeleteThe ocean is always a wonderful place. I could sit and watch the waves forever. Sounds like you had a beautiful summer.
How wonderful to spend time with your sister and take in some history and shopping at the Farmer’s Market. Then you had beach time which I know is your favorite. Your Labor Day table looked so pretty in your courtyard. Here’s to hoping for some cooler temperatures and a beautiful Autumn! ❤️
ReplyDeleteAtlanta is indeed a hot-hot town, with so much to do. There are several shopping and antique locations up that way I need to hit up soon, so you’ve inspired me to get moving. Come see me in Fairhope next!
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, you have enjoyed a lovely summer. I loved seeing all of your photos around Decatur and Atlanta. Looks like you celebrated the 4th and Labor Day perfectly. I enjoy the beach sitting on the balcony and watching the waves. Fresh seafood from the Gulf is my favorite. Hopefully we will see some fall weather soon. Enjoy the rest of September!
ReplyDeleteYou take us to the nicest places, Emily, what a summer!
