A Fun Friday!

I think I am married to the world's most fun husband. Early Friday afternoon he called and asked what we were up to. After chatting for a few minutes he let me in on the idea he rented a hotel in downtown. The kids and I were freaking out at the idea and got packed and left in less than an hour to meet Steve at his work...Ft. McPherson is pretty much in downtown. Saturday we went to Perimeter Mall and then over to Smyrna...the Border's Bookstore there is cool, it's all upstairs with huge windows to show off the Atlanta skyline. After picking Madi up a Goonie Bird Green book she has been wanting we went to the theatre next door and laughed our way through the movie Paul Blart...Mall Cop. As you can see in the above picture we hit Trader Joe's while we were out and about too.

All this because of priceline.com! It started when we were going to Florida. Usually our hotel of choice is the Hampton Inn where ever we go. Steve wanted to try something new that would also save money, so he started messing around with priceline for hotels. On our Florida trip Steve got us a super nice and fun hotel/resort...the Mona Lisa in Orlando for $79 on priceline but the price if you were to walk in and get it was $399 plus resort fees and taxes. This weekend we got a downtown Marriott for $29 on priceline.com. This is so fun getting these deals that really let us get out more...we have more plans in the making now!

The kids of course loved playing in the water at the hotel.

Okay off the top of my head I can count 10 military bases in the state of Georgia...4 of them in Atlanta. We popped into Dobbins AFB while downtown...did you know they share the land 1/2 and 1/2 with the Navy? That would be so weird to be in the Navy and then stationed at Naval Air Station Atlanta....no water here.

We enjoyed dinner at Dave and Buster's and then had lots of fun playings tons of games afterwards. Man does the weekend really have to end? It's been a good one!
