All Girls Weekend 2013 November 8 - 11, 2013


All Girls Weekend this year is getting a bit of a "revamp" and moving a little closer to home due to many reasons.

This year we're not heading too far from home, we're going to Atlanta.  What are we going to do in Atlanta? 

We're planning on:
Fox Theatre
Stone mountain to ride the rail and the tram to the top.
World of Coca-Cola and Aquarium
OLD neighborhoods and some thrift/junk shopping if we can fit it in!

We'd love to see you here, however understand that for most of you, you would have already made the trip to Georgia over the summer and may not be able to make it out again so soon.  We're going to see how far Mom can get from Dad for the weekend - having someone from the church come in and check on him during the day and either a) prep meals ahead of time or b) have meals brought in for the weekend.

Dependent on comfort level of mom, will determine how long we make it.  We're planning on three nights and four partial days.

Hotel has yet to be chosen, however I would like one within walking distance of the Aquarium downtown (and of course, with a SPA!!)
