On Wednesday afternoon we left for Atlanta again to shop, go the Chick fil A Bowl and ring in the new year. First stop was Spartanburg to pick Ben up from his grandparent's house where he spent a few days after Christmas. And, then, we met Clay and Sarah (his girlfriend) at Pizza Inn. One of those places I really miss since we don't have them in Columbia. When we got to ATL we checked into our hotel and watched some TV.
Thursday we slept in, ate breakfast and then went back to sleep for a little while longer. When we got up we headed out to Lenox to start our shopping day. Lunch at Prime was very good and gave us the energy we needed for some power shopping. From Lenox it was on to Phipps where Ben and Glenn loved seeing the cars (Maseraties, Lotus, etc.) on display. And, we did more shopping. Stops at Filene's Basement, Nordstrom Rack and DSW filled the trunk of the SUV!
We dropped off our packages and went in search of a Spanish restaurant I found in the hotel listing. It was exactly what I wanted.....delicious chicken, shrimp, sausage and calamari paella. So good! (I forgot to take a picture before we started, but you can see not much was left!) Itwas the perfect way to end a shopping marathon day!
By the way if you are wondering what we got, here is a little breakdown. Glenn -- a scarf, hat, shoes, belt. Me -- rainboots, sunglasses, 3 pairs of flip flops, 1 pair of Betsey Johnson's, 1 pair of Badgley Mischka's, a bracelet, a ring. Ben -- Puma sweatshirt, Puma shirt, Guess shirt, 2 pair of Polo jeans, Puma shoes, Puma hat, a second hat and slippers.
