Hi everyone!
Hope you all had a great weekend! Sorry for the lack of blogging, but we have been “away” for a little while… and by “away”, I mean we took a staycation only 15 miles from our house!
We decided we needed a weekend away, just for us, but didn’t want to take any vacation time or spend too much time in the car. So we settled on Stone Mountain Park, which is literally 15 miles from our house. BUT, we stayed at the super-nice Evergreen Mariott Hotel, which was a gorgeous, and relaxing resort + spa, and we didn’t leave the park all weekend, so it totally felt like we were out of town!
We spent most of the weekend lounging by the pool- resulting in some mega-sunburns- but we also had a chance to climb the mountain, check out The Plantation, and do all of the attractions in the park. It was so relaxing, and so much fun to have some “us” time, and to feel like we had snuck away from everything. Plus, the drive home once we were done was an added bonus 😉
Have you ever taken a staycation? What’s your favorite location when you just need to “get away”?
XO,
Amanda
