Anniversary Trip

This weekend Cody and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary. We didn't go all out with a big trip or anything, but we did spend the night in Memphis and had tons of fun!

I finally got my fall activity fix when we stumbled upon a little harvest festival at Shelby Farms. This place had every size, shape, and color of pumpkin you could imagine! Many of them I didn't even know existed. One of the pumpkins was over a thousand pounds! Sadly, I couldn't attach a horse to it and ride it away like Cinderella, so I just settled for a few colorful smaller ones.

After the festival, we had a delicious dinner downtown at The Majestic Grille. The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing! We then stayed the night in a king suite at a really nice hotel... yay Priceline deals! The next morning, we hit up the zoo, because I love zoos. If you've been following my blog for a while, you've probably read a previous post or two about zoo adventures that I've shared. I just love watching, petting, and feeding animals. I probably should've been a zookeeper or something. 

We capped off the day with some shopping and more eating before heading back home. It really was a great anniversary celebration. The past two years have been more incredible than I ever could have expected. 

Atlanta Anniversary Adventure - Part 2

My favorite part of our little trip was going to the aquarium and the zoo! The aquarium was so huge and had the prettiest little sea creatures. We even got to pet sting rays, sharks, and sea urchins!

Of course, the zoo was equally as fun. Normally, parakeets are pretty common in pet stores here, but this zoo had a giant open room filled with hundreds of parakeets! These little birds are way more fun to look at by the hundreds. We also watched an orangutan play games on a computer! It was really neat, but I was standing too far away to get a good picture.

Overall, it was a great way to spend our anniversary trip! What are your favorite zoo animals?

Valentine's Day

We had so much fun on our Valentine's date in Memphis yesterday! Going to the zoo is

probably one of my most favorite things to do... and that might be sad for someone

 my age, but oh well. It's true. So after the zoo we went to a pretty decent Italian

restaurant called Amerigo. We're kind of terrible at deciding on new places

to eat, so after searching Urban Spoon and Around Me to no avail... I just Googled 

"Places to eat in Memphis" and happened upon that place. If you ever 

go, I highly recommend the spicy cheese fritters! Amazing! 

All in all, it was a very sweet day and I thoroughly enjoyed spending it 

with my permanent valentine.
