{Birthday Weekend}

I absolutely had the best birthday weekend. As you get older, seems like celebrations change and you find more joy in the small things and quality time with family and friends.

Friday was my actual birthday, my sweet family showered me so much love and gifts. Kudos to my sweet husband for getting the kids all pumped up for my birthday. Dinner was really fun. We had dinner at Six Feet Under and enjoyed their awesome patio and great view of the city. Dessert was delish and exciting! We finally made it to Jeni's. It didn't disappoint and I loved the quirky flavor offerings. I had the vanilla and rosemary ice cream and it was  sooo good!

Saturday, we all got up bright and early to go the High Museum of Art. Our company is a primary sponsor, and employees were free to get in that weekend. They were having the Dream Cars Exhibit and it was so neat to see all these wonderful concept cars.

Oh you know, just car shopping on my birthday weekend. #dreamcarsatl (and wearing the kid's birthday gift to me --- Lilly Buttercup shorts)
 
Mommy's future car post mini van :)
The actual art exhibit was just ok for the kids, but we gotta teach them some, huh?
 

Varsity was around the corner and was our lunch choice. What'll ya have?
This momma was spoiled rotten. Found out the hubby booked me a full body massage that afternoon. It was divine and much needed. I can't believe that it's been so long since I had one.

Birthday dinner was fabulous. We went out with one of our favorite couple to the famous trendy restaurant Gunshow. It was a joint birthday celebration for me and my girl Ra. A very cool concept.   You actually do not order from a menu. One of the many chefs will bring out food starting with appetizers then entrees followed by desserts. They explain the  food to you and how it is prepared. Then you decide if you want it or you can pass. Too bad we didn't see Kevin Gillespie. I heard from time to time, he serves.
You know you absolutely love each other, when you show up in the same outfit for dinner and give each other just about the same birthday gift. #twinning.
Post dinner, we walked over to the Mexican restaurant next door to celebrate and drink some margarita. Wonderful, wonderful birthday weekend for me!

Sounds like a KILLER weekend! That ice cream sounds delish and I love those shorts! If and when we get back to ATL I'm visiting GunShow!
