Mommy & Daddy Weekend in Atlanta

This weekend, Kevin and I went to meet a group of friends in Atlanta.  We hadn't seen most of them since our wedding over 3 years ago and although they are "our friends," Kevin went to college with them and all so he was SUPER stoked to be reuniting with them.  We left Friday morning and drove to Atlanta (in which out of habit I looked in the back seat a couple times to check on Eli) and made it there around 4:30. We would have been there sooner but we got stuck in traffic for over 1 1/2 hours! 

Friday consisted of getting to our hotel, Stoneybrook Inn Suites, and waiting as everyone arrived at different times.

I was looking rough but it seemed like a LONG ride.

Stoneybrook Inn Suites was very cute and cozy on the outside and the room was cute and cozy too!
A "living area."

The bathroom.

Upgrade to a King bed...perks of being pregnant.

Kitchen area...wasn't touched! :)
 
Once we all arrived and got settled, we changed clothes and decided to go to a nice dinner.
 
Fancy!

My dinner...Lobster Mac N Cheese.  WOW!

In the elevator on the way down to the restaurant.

 
The two buds and their pregnant wives.


 
At dinner, the waiter brought me and Jes a piece of dessert to share, with 2 candles in it (one pink/one blue because he wasn't sure if we were having boys or girls...we are actually both having girls) and told the boys they weren't allowed to touch it. :)
 
Then we headed out on the town.  We went to Fado (however you spell it) to hang out after dinner.


The two pregnant ladies hanging out with their boys. You can tell by my eyes it was starting to get late and this old gal was getting sleepy!
 
On Saturday, the highlight was going to the Braves game!  Some of our group had never been and Kevin & I are always excited to go...especially when we get to see other people go for the first time too.
Taking the MARTA to Underground Atlanta.  Some people weren't a fan of this. :)

Me & my hubby at one of our favorite places. (Yes, my mouth is blue from an icee.)
 
Waiting on the curb for the cab. Sitting down, tired feet!
 
The game was great, weather wasn't too hot or too cold, the rain held off and the Braves won!
The Steve Miller Band was playing afterwards so we stayed for a few minutes before we headed out to our next stop.
This place had a good atmosphere and live music.  When we first got there, everyone sat down outside, but Kevin and I had to go BACK to the hotel because I didn't have my ID with me.  I was like seriously?  I'm 5 1/2 months pregnant...do I look like I'm going to be drinking it up to you?  Not to mention that I'm 28 years old and STILL can't get in. So we went back, got my ID, then turned right around and came back to meet our friends.  Needless to say after all of that I was already tired and it had been a long day.
 

Our group hanging out the last night.  Luckily, they were all very understanding so after we ate, we went back to the hotel to finish hanging out in the room.  Jesica's poor feet were swollen (being that she is 32 weeks pregnant...I think) and my feet for whatever reason had also experieced their first swelling with Evy.  I went to bed before the rest and they all stayed up and chatted about old times.
 
Kevin and I actually stayed Sunday and were lucky enough to stay and watch another game.  It was fun and we enjoyed it, but MAN was it hot!  I got sunburn and didn't even realize it until it was too late because the clouds kept going in and out. 
 
The Braves lost...Boo.  We stayed after the game and go to the parking lot where the players are (since they had the next 4 days off due to the All-Star Game we figured we might get some autographs), and we got a few!  Kevin & I have always had luck in that department and it's fun to do.  Then we got home about 12:30 in the morning and went to bed.  It was a wonderful weekend, but I have never been so happy to wake up at 6:45 AM after a few hours of sleep...because it meant I got to snuggle with my baby boy.
