  • Cece in the City: Exploring Atlanta’s Hidden Gems

    Happy Sunday, friends! 🌞 Let’s talk about a few of my Cece in the City adventures that make Atlanta one of the most vibrant and fun places to explore.

    1. The BeltLine – If you haven’t been, the BeltLine is a whole vibe. From food spots to street performers, it’s where cultures mix and creativity flows. Whether you’re biking, walking, or just people-watching, there’s always something happening.
    1. Krog Street Tunnel – This isn’t just a tunnel, it’s a living canvas. Every time I go, the art is different, bold, and full of energy. It’s like stepping into Atlanta’s heartbeat—raw, colorful, and ever-changing.
    1. Hop ‘N Go Tours – Talk about fun! This rolling adventure takes you around Atlanta while serving up history and laughs. I learned things about the city I never knew, all while riding in style. Definitely a must-do if you want to play tourist for a day.
    1. The Botanical Gardens – Flowers, sculptures, and serenity all in one. I’ve been to both the Atlanta Botanical Garden and the one in Gainesville. Atlanta’s is larger and full of surprises (especially during the holiday lights ✨), while Gainesville’s has its own charm and peaceful vibes. Both are worth it!
    1. Mercedes-Benz Stadium – It’s football season, y’all! 🏈 From the skybox to the regular seats, this stadium is an experience no matter where you sit. The energy is electric, the food is surprisingly affordable, and it’s a piece of Atlanta history in the making.

    Atlanta never runs out of gems to explore, and I’m just getting started. Stay tuned—more Cece in the City adventures are on the way! 💫

  • Kicking Off a New Tradition: Experiencing My First Atlanta United Game

    This past Saturday, I crossed something off my Atlanta bucket list: my first Atlanta United game! I’ve always enjoyed soccer — mostly from my time as a proud soccer mom cheering on my daughters from the sidelines — but watching it live? That’s a whole new thrill.

    Since I won free tickets to the game, I invited my cousin along for the adventure to go to the Atlanta United’s playoff game against Miami at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Walking into the stadium, surrounded by fans decked out in red, black, and gold, I felt that electric energy that only live sports can deliver. The whole place was buzzing with excitement and, from the very start, you could tell everyone was there for one thing: to see our team win.

    The match was intense from kickoff. It was neck-and-neck at 1-1 for what felt like ages. With each pass, every shot, and every near-miss, the crowd’s anticipation grew. Then, just when we thought it might stay tied, Atlanta scored the winning goal! The stadium roared, and it was amazing to be right there, in the heart of it all, watching fans jump out of their seats and high-five strangers. What a way to celebrate our first game — ATL United winning it in the final stretch!

    After that experience, I can safely say I’m hooked. I’m ready to dive deeper into soccer, learn more about the team, and catch more games this season. Here are some snapshots of the night; I’m so glad I could experience it and cross this off my Atlanta list. Go ATL!

    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!

    Mercedes Benz Stadium (Atlanta Falcons)

    By: Cece Hymes

    I love football but I never really go to the stadiums. When I moved to Atlanta, I started going to the Football games sometimes. The stadium was really nice. It’s not far from the subway. They tailgate. It was packed. It’s really nice and we always have seats very close to the field. When I tell you that the Celebrities go to these games and support them. We always see stars like Pastor Troy, Big Tigger and more at the games supporting their team.

    The Stadium is very nice. It’s the home of the Atlanta Falcons.  No matter where you sit you always seem to be close to the stadium. They have a falcon statue outside which stands out. The Halo board displays 10k Ultra screens and it is very nice. When you first walk in, walk down a little you can see the field. It’s wide open.

    It’s really a nice stadium and even though it’s not my team I do like the stadium. On my bucket list is to travel and go to at least 5 or more stadiums. I read a book that talked about the different stadiums and how nice they are.

    If you are a football fan, make sure to check out the Atlanta stadium and tell me what you think about it.
