This isn’t technically a New Bites experience because we have been to Tomo before but it was a long time ago so I’m adding this in to the series. This, to me, is one of the most underrated sushi spots in Atlanta. The quality for the price is excellent and we had a great time there for dinner. Continue reading
We spent a long weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina for our seventh anniversary this year. It had been several years since we’d been to Raleigh and we were both happy to visit again because we love this city! We explored some new places, returned to a couple of favorites and even made a surprise visit to Lindsey in Charlotte on the way home to Atlanta. Continue reading
I had heard the saying that once a person has children, time really accelerates and as Harrison turns three years old, I am finding that to be accurate. I can’t believe my baby boy is already three. He is an absolute joy and the light of our lives. We love being around his funny, curious, friendly and silly personality and watching him explore the world around him. I’ve captured highlights from his birthday party as well as the past six months from my last update when he turned 2 and a half.
Two years without visiting the wonderful mountain town of Brevard and the surrounding land of waterfalls is too long! I remedied that with a fairly hastily planned long weekend in this Western North Carolina wonderland. We even had a bonus with this trip – we got to see our friends and neighbors who had just moved to this area. If you’re wondering what to do on a weekend around the Pisgah National Forest, read on for a few fun ideas. Continue reading
Sean and I always like to go on a double-date with my brother and sister-in-law when we’re visiting family in the Outer Banks. We try to eat at new restaurants and this time was no exception. We were able to get a reservation for a late seating at the Salt Box Cafe on Colington Island – and we had a terrific meal and experience! Continue reading
Sean and I spent a weekend exploring Williamsburg, Virginia during the two weeks we spent in Manteo at my mom’s. It had been more than eight months since Sean and I had had a night away from Harrison so I wanted to take advantage of having help from family to get away for Sean’s birthday. Williamsburg is only a two and a half hour drive from Manteo and I had not been there since I was in college; Sean since he was a kid so we decided to go back. Continue reading
It’s been a big year for family! We’ve had lots of visits from grandparents here in Atlanta, as well as a combined trip to Savannah with both mine and Sean’s moms and stepdads, and two weeks in the Outer Banks with my mom’s side of the family. Spending time with and celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday has been wonderful. Here are some of the special photos from this memorable family time. Continue reading
Atlanta’s Buford Highway is a miles long stretch of diverse, international eats that spans multiple towns and goes all the way into the North Atlanta suburbs. I have Buford Highway 101 and Buford Highway 201 posts that go into some great spots to try. But Thai food has always proved somewhat elusive along the Buford Highway corridor so when I saw a new Thai street-food style place had opened up, I knew I had to try it. Tum Pok Pok is such a welcome addition to the BuHi food scene! Continue reading
