Father’s Day Weekend

in Life, Uncategorized on

Since Tom made Mother’s Day so special for me, I wanted to make Father’s Day just as special for him, and hopefully I succeeded! Our whole weekend was great – full of lots of fun activities and quality time spent together.

 

Saturday we had family pictures taken in the morning that I can not wait to share with all of you! One of my friends who is also a photographer took them and she is very talented so I know they will be great. Afterwards we hit up a popular doughnut place in Atlanta for the first time, and it lived up to our expectations. We each gobbled down 2 doughnuts and didn’t feel one bit guilty about it. After MG’s nap we headed up for more looking at cars – thanks to your recommendations last time I talked about car shopping I made sure to test drive the Acadia and completely fell in love with it. Now it’s just a waiting game to make sure I have enough of a down-payment and finding one in the color and package that I want. I sure wish the new car fairy would just drop one off in my driveway  but unfortunately that’s not the way life works, at least not the way my life works. Until then I’m thankful to have a car that runs, especially on the 100 degree days we’ve been having when I see moms with infants waiting at the bus stop.

For the big day I told my husband we could do whatever he wanted. I asked him if he wanted me to make an itinerary for the day of all the fun stuff we would do in advance and he said please not to. I love having everything planned out and a schedule in place and he much prefers not to have a schedule and just to take it easy and see where the day takes us, so we did it his way. First things first he wanted us all to wear red and black and go to the College Football Hall of Fame which is here in Atlanta, so we obliged and had a great time. I highly recommend visiting it if you’re in the area – the place is very interactive and has more than I imagined it could have to do.

Note the wing sauce from MG turning Tom’s plate upside down on him.

Afterwards I told my husband we could have lunch anywhere he wanted and he picked Taco Mac which I was A-okay with. After a yummy queso filled lunch we headed home for nap time, and then I wasn’t feeling great (seriously still battling this cold) so I opted to rest while my husband took Maddie Grace up to spend some time with his dad. When they got back and after I had a little nap I was feeling much better so we headed for some night time swimming at our neighborhood pool. It was empty and we had a great time swimming and doing different things to make Maddie Grace laugh. She thought it was particularly funny when her dad did cannonballs and went underwater. 

Unfortunately all great things must come to an end and a fun weekend is no different. We finally have a weekend without too many plans which hopefully allows us to catch up on some stuff. And this weekend we will be heading to Savannah to spend some quality time with my family which we are very much looking forward to.

Did you do anything special for Father’s Day? I’d love to hear more about it below!

  1. We went glamping with the family at Flamingo Lake in Jacksonville,FL. We had a blast and it was so good being with my Daddy for Father's Day!

  5. Sounds like it was a sweet day:) Sometimes the best memories are the ones we try not to make, but just let happen. (I'm total type A so I am working on this myself)

  7. Sounds like a great weekend and a wonderful Father's Day!! 🙂 I love having days where you don't really have anything planned, they always just seem to turn out great. It's kind of how our entire weekend went 🙂

    • Ahhh I'm the opposite! I love having a plan and sticking to it! But yes I can see how my husband would not want so much scheduling after a week at work!
