Kelly Bueller's Day Off

So Tuesday we spent the day goofing off in the city in celebration of my birthday... yes, it was a perfect day... just me and my husband playing hooky. We treated ourselves to lox and bagels at Einstein's for breakfast. Then, we ventured down into the city for a nice tour of the Botanical Gardens... considering it was 110 degrees outside, I really liked hanging out in the cool Andes Mountains plants area... it was only 50 degrees or so in there and felt REALLY nice...




Overall the BG reminded me of Callaway Gardens from back home... it was also similar to the BG we visited in St. Lucia on our honeymoon last year. Next, we dined on sushi at a midtown eatery (referred by Carey- thanks!)... and then we made the trip into downtown to tour the Aquarium... we really enjoyed the ocean exhibit... that tank of ocean life is HUGE!!






That was definitely my favorite part of the whole place... Cons: overpriced, way too many people, seemed very mall-like, needs more exhibits and less gift shops...
We then cruised home and then topped the night off with some mountain biking up at Big Creek Park in Alpharetta... what a great 34th birthday...
