The Sewing Mom

Finally! We’re on the road and we are headed home. We left Atlanta behind this morning, and after a slight traffic delay due to highway construction, we are now cruising along interstate 20 through Alabama. This is my first time to ever write a post from my phone; my thumbs are tired from typing! I can’t wait to get home and be able to sleep in my own bed. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I left Dallas almost 2 weeks ago on a road trip that would take us to Eastern Kentucky and then back down to the Knoxville, TN area for a combination business/pleasure trip. My daughter and I, along with our dog, met up with both of my sisters, their husbands and a couple of my nieces and nephews to enjoy a few days in The Great Smoky Mountains and we had a blast together. Even our dog acclimated to being on the road and enjoyed everyone’s attention.

Just before heading back to Dallas and home, I received a call that there had been a death in the family and I needed to divert our route to Atlanta for the funeral. This is certainly not my idea of a great vacation, but I am trying to make the best of things. The funeral was yesterday and we have all of today to find things to do in Atlanta. There are some really cool things to do too! I’m thinking it would be awesome to do the Segway Day Tour of Atlanta. Of course, my daughter thinks that would be pretty cool too! We’d be able to see the CNN Center, World of Coke, Georgia Aquarium, and Centennial Olympic Park, all while riding a Segway! Now, the Segway Ghosts and Legends Tour of Atlanta would probably capture my husband’s attention. He loves anything paranormal.

I think there is so much interesting history here in Atlanta. As much as I loved taking New York City tours, I love the old south. It’s much more laid back and relaxed. The traffic around here is pretty heavy, but I think that once we get downtown and get ourselves onto a Segway, it will be a ton of fun. I’ve been utilizing Trusted Tours & Attractions online travel guides to get information on things to do. It’s been extremely helpful.

I also receive the Trusted Tours & Attractions Newsletter which helps a great deal. If I hadn’t all ready signed up for the newsletter, I would head right over to the newsletter sign up page, because, if you sign up now, you might win a $150 iTunes gift card.

Anyway, I hope to be back home in a few days. In the mean time, I plan to have fun in Atlanta!

To all my readers and loyal Entrecard droppers, I am leaving this morning on a road trip to Tennessee and will not return until July 23.  I am not sure what type of internet access I will have, if any.  While I am taking my laptop with me, it may be a few days before I can get online.

I will attempt to post, but until Wednesday at least, I will only have dial up, very slow dial up, access and will be unable to drop EC’s.  I will return though and for those of you who continue to drop, I will surely appreciate it!

I hope you all have a great week and if you’re going to be in the Knoxville, TN area next weekend, let me know!
