City fix

Atlanta was our last weekend’s destination since Stakit got a long weekend off. We drove up on Saturday and came back on Monday; it was about 5.5 hrs one-way. We had a great time! We had Great food, saw city people (and they don’t look at us funny, HA!), lucked out with the hotel and its location. We did “normal people” stuff like shopping & dining ;) plus One Full day of tourist stuff!

On the tourist day, we visited CNN headquarters and had the Inside CNN tour (that’s when I realized it’s Chinese New Year that day! Gung Hay Fat Choy!!), walked by Philips Arena, checked out Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia World Congress Center, World of Coca-cola, Underground Atlanta…. In the evening we roved over to Midtown; we walked by Federal Reserve Bank, where they shred $10 million per day. We had a little celebration for the Year of the Pig, dinner at a small Chinese restaurant.

As far as shopping, we went to Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza. I didn’t plan to get anything but... hee hee.

We had a great trip. The drive was well worth it! Atlanta is a Fun place to be. The food was Awesome! We got our city fix!

Our little Group activities on Valentine’s Day

Since we moved, everything is different! Our lifestyle, my personality, how different things excite us that we never thought of, and how we spend our holidays (and including H*llmark holidays).

This Valentine’s Day, I received no truffles, no flowers, no romantic comedies, no romantic CDs, and no spa gift certificates from Stakit! BUT, I’m ok with it, surprisingly. The hardest part is, this heartwarming month, we don’t get to spend time with our heartwarming friends!

This year, we did ballroom dancing. We had our ballroom dancing class with Stakit’s work people. Before we headed to town to dance, we all met at a sushi and grill restaurant on the island for dinner. Dinner was good, I was quiet as I have been lately (yes, I’m know… I just don’t have anything interesting to talk about); however, the dancing was great! We practiced after class last week and we were ready to learn something new. The instructors are very nice. They noticed us from the big class and give us extra “love”. Maybe we dance SO bad that they have to do extra work? Maybe I got confused by ice-dancing? At the end of the class, they told us that we have been doing very well and wanted us to keep up our good work! That was nice! For once, I am not at the bottom of the barrel here. Finally, I’m not the worst!

Dancing

Guess what? We are going to start weekly ballroom dancing! We went to some ballroom dancing classes before we got married… and how well do we dance? Ummm… yeah… you probably have seen us dance. We don’t know what we are doing.

I hope this time will be different. better. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun. However, Stakit should take his steel toe shoes with him to the class.

Wish us luck!
