    Get ready for an exhilarating June as I take you on a thrilling journey through the heart of Atlanta! I’ve crafted my very own Atlanta Bucket List, packed with adventures and hidden gems. Some of these I’ve already experienced, and I’m excited to share my stories and insights with you. Let’s dive in!

    Day 10: Mercedes-Benz Stadium

    On the tenth day, I had an unforgettable experience at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. We had the privilege of watching the game from a skybox, and let me tell you, it was spectacular!

    The skybox offers a fantastic view of the action, with the added luxury of food and drinks. It’s the perfect setting to gather with family and friends, providing plenty of space to walk around and enjoy the game in comfort. The atmosphere was electric, and the amenities made it a top-notch experience.

    Atlanta’s stadium is a marvel, blending modern design with incredible functionality. If you haven’t been to Mercedes-Benz Stadium yet, it’s definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re a sports fan or just looking for a unique outing, this stadium offers an unparalleled experience. Don’t miss out on checking it out!

  • Cherish the moment

    As May comes to an end, it’s been a month full of rain and reflection. This month is always bittersweet for me because of Mother’s Day. I didn’t write much because I tend to feel quite sad around this time. My mom is no longer with us, and I miss her dearly.

    Despite the sadness, I had a wonderful day with my kids. They took me out to Six Feet Under in Atlanta, where we enjoyed a lovely meal on the rooftop. The weather was perfect, and we feasted on alligator, shrimp, and gumbo. It was a beautiful experience.

    I want to take a moment to remind everyone to treasure your mom while she’s here. You never know when you’ll hear her voice or see her smile for the last time. Cherish your parents. I’m grateful for the memories and the time we shared. Every year, we write messages on balloons and release them for my mother and grandmother. It’s our way of honoring them and keeping their memories alive.

    I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day and enjoyed time with their moms. If you’re in Atlanta, definitely check out Six Feet Under—they never disappoint. This summer, I plan to try new places and create many new memories. There’s so much I want to do and experience.

    Tell me, what’s on your bucket list? Do you have a favorite rooftop spot in Atlanta? I’d love to hear your recommendations!

  • Bombing Fun: Conquering Challenges at Beat the Bomb in Atlanta!”

    Recently, my girls and I checked off a major item from our Atlanta bucket list – experiencing the adrenaline-pumping adventure at Beat the Bomb in Atlanta, GA. Let me tell you, it was an absolute blast, and we’re so glad we finally took the plunge!

    If you’ve ever tried an escape room, imagine that but cranked up with an extra dose of excitement and a sprinkle of games. Beat the Bomb is the perfect blend of teamwork, strategy, and sheer fun. Picture this: a room filled with lasers, a challenge to solve, and a whole lot of moving around – it’s like a dance party, but with a twist!

    We faced the ultimate test of teamwork in the room with lasers, and let me confess – it was an exercise for both the body and the brain. There were moments of hilarity as we dodged, ducked, and dove to overcome the laser obstacles. Spoiler alert: we didn’t manage to beat the bomb, and as a result, we got a colorful paint shower. But you know what? It was totally worth it, and we wore those paint splatters like badges of honor!

    So, if you find yourself in the Atlanta area and you’re craving a unique and thrilling experience with your family and friends, Beat the Bomb is the place to be. Trust me; you won’t be disappointed – just be prepared to move, laugh, and create memories that will have you talking about it for weeks!

    Here’s to conquering challenges and embracing the paint splatters of fun!

    Cheers to unforgettable adventures!

  • Place: Zoo

    Where: Atlanta Ga

    By: Cece Hymes

    Since I have been living in Atlanta, I have been going to the zoo every year. If you don’t know, let me share this secret with you. You can get free tickets to the zoo once a year at the library. Don’t say I never hooked you up lol.

    So, me and the family went to the zoo. It was hot out there this year. The animals were just laying around because of the heat. I am thankful that the zoo has those fans and it’s a lot of trees that give a lot of shade. They had the part where you walk around like the aquarium part of it closed and the petting zoo closed. So, we missed out on those two parts of the zoo.

    Every year I go I try to bring someone who has never been or hasn’t been since they were young. My aunt went with me this time and she enjoyed it. She Has a disability, but they did have the electric wheelchairs you could rent so she enjoyed that.

    The zoo did have some new animals I didn’t see last time I went. I really enjoy going to the zoo in Atlanta so if you haven’t been make sure to check it out.
