Last weekend Josiah and I went to Atlanta to visit my aunt Paula.  She lives in Sandy Springs.  The weather was not very good so we had limited options when it came to entertainment...which meant: malls malls and more malls!  Josiah was such a good sport and we had a great time just spending time together.  I think one of my favorite parts of the trip was the car ride up and down...we had some good heart to hearts :)  We got to spend some good time with Aunt P too...we went to Twisted Taco, Seasons 52, CPK, Nori Nori, and J. Christopher's.  Lots of good food!  We left on Sunday morning in the midst of an ice storm!  Very intense but once we got into TN the weather was beautiful.  We can't wait for our next trip!

This past weekend, my mom took me to New York for my 25th birthday present.  I had never been before and it was one of the most amazing trips I've ever been on.  We stayed in Midtown, Manhattan in a high-rise condo.  We did a lot of shopping, eating, and walking around the city.  I also got to see a few friends of mine who have taken jobs in the city and are now true New Yorkers!  The best meal I had was on Saturday night with my friend Andrew...it was this hole in the wall place called "Aloe."  I had the most incredible pork dish of my life!  After a whirlwind weekend I am seriously considering a relocation to Manhattan!
