met three girls who just can’t seem to get a picture right?
Well, I’m about to introduce you to them.
It’s me, Robin and Rachel,
And for some reason at the Braves game on Saturday night, we couldn’t seem to get a decent picture.
I’m not going to say it was the million beers we had at the Chop House, but more likely the million beers that our photographer had.
I don’t remember who took the pictures, but it is kind of amazing that a single one did not turn out ok.  
Want proof?
Here ya go.

Did I mention how nasty rainy it was?  Hence the horribly gross curly hair.  I think it needs cut; it’s sort of making me angry.
I’m not really sure what we were laughing at so hard that we just couldn’t pull it together.
So there ya have it; three girls that couldn’t get it together to take one single photo.
Good job girls; I love you guys.

Sweet Water Brewery (ATL)

Break time again from the 10 day challenge.  I can’t focus on this damn thing even if you paid me.  Which no one does, so we’re good there.  
But I was going through my phone pictures and came across the ones of the SweetWater Brewery tour that we took while in Atlanta one weekend.  Of course visiting Mecca (IKEA), and enjoying local burgers at Vortex (there’s also some pictures from here, although, they were after a few drinks, and are kind of unnoticeable, but don’t worry.  I will explain what you’re sort of looking at).
So we get to Atlanta to do the brewery tour, which is $10 and gets you a glass with 6 tickets to sample.  And trust me, this wasn’t some wine tasting amount.  They pretty much filled your glass, so you were good and tipsy while walking out.  But don’t get too tipsy, because, of course, they did have cops on hand.  And you could tell they were just waiting for someone to trip on the stairs (how cruel!) walking out.  It was freezing, and we had to wait in line outside to get in.  Once in, you are packed in there.  Although, all the beer for $10 made it quite worth it.  Here are some pics from the actual brewery…
1.  The sign over the walk-in cooler that housed all the glorious beer.
2.  one of the many kegs…
3.  the dank tank…they make so much of one special beer a month, and when it’s gone, it’s gone.  a limited edition beer, if you will.
4.  and the hippie van.  gotta love it.
1.  skeleton on a motorcycle.
2.  coaster, with my drink peeking in.
3. pic of the menu, you know, for proof.
4.  beer cooler.  they had lots.
5.  horseradish burger.  i have a love affair with horseradish.  and when you put bacon on it, i might as well have died right there.
All in all, it was a successful Atlanta trip.  Came back with a brand new media console (amazingness, can’t even tell it’s IKEA.  we reassure it daily that it could totally pass for pottery barn), a new area rug, and some sweet little trinkets that went into the extinct yellow room (pics to come on how that room turned out, because I am pretty proud of it).  
And of course, any night that can end with New Orleans jazz music and a Red Bull and vodka is a pretty great night!

I’m obsessed…

Okay. I know. I have been a terrible blogger. I even got harassed by the husband, so you know it’s bad.

A couple weeks ago we went to Atlanta. To do what you may ask?

To see the Packers! Ugh, I know. But the chance to see Aaron Rodgers in the flesh? I’ll take it. And get this. I found out that his little brother is the quarterback at Vanderbilt. Which is in Nashville. Which is only 3 hours away. And my total in to the Rodgers family.

Umm…kidding. Maybe.

Anyway!! We made the short 2 1/2 trip to the Georgia Dome to see my favorite NFL team. We were only 20 some odd rows up in the end zone. We also went to a great little Irish place that claimed it had the best fish and chips in Atlanta. I’m not sure what other places have them, but they were so good, I really forgot to take the picture.

But enjoy the pictures that I did take!! And I hope that y’all are doing well! I have missed the little bloggy world!!
I am starting to seriously hate the hair. I miss the long-ness.

The fish ‘n chips place. Yums.

Clay Matthews’ booty. #52 in case you were wondering.

The boys.

There they are again!

And again.

They are now 6-0. Take that Chicago!
