  • My Trip to Boca ATL – Summerhill

    Let’s taco ‘bout a spot that had me vibin’ from the moment I walked in—Boca ATL, a charming Mexican restaurant tucked away in the heart of Atlanta. This place had been on my foodie radar for a minute, and I finally made it happen. Trust me when I say, it was worth the wait.

    First Impressions: Vibes on Point
    The moment I stepped into Boca, I felt like I’d been transported somewhere between a modern-day cantina and a Pinterest board dream. Bright colors, cute decor, and that cozy, can’t-leave-here-for-a-while energy. It’s the kind of place where you immediately think, “Yep—this is where the girls’ night starts or the solo lunch turns into a vibe.”

    Let’s Talk Tacos
    Okay, let’s get into the real reason I came—the food. I ordered tacos (of course), and they did what they needed to do! Flavorful, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you’re a classic carne asada type or you’re feeling fancy with shrimp or birria, Boca knows what they’re doing. It’s the kind of meal that makes you nod after every bite like, “Mmmhmm, yep… this right here.”

    Service with a Smile
    You know how customer service can make or break a dining experience? Boca’s staff were super friendly, attentive, and just added to the welcoming energy of the spot. I love when a restaurant feels like you’re being hosted, not just served.

    A Little Sazón of History
    The name Boca means “mouth” in Spanish—perfect, right? In many Latin cultures, the phrase “una buena boca” can refer to a good taste, or even having a flair for flavor. Mexican cuisine itself is a rich fusion of indigenous and Spanish influences, with tacos dating back to the 18th century—originally a working-class street food that’s now taken over the world (and my cravings). So when you bite into a taco at a place like Boca, you’re literally tasting centuries of culture, tradition, and bold, beautiful flavor.

    Final Thoughts
    Boca ATL isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a whole experience. Good food, cute space, great people, and a little sprinkle of heritage? Say less. If you’re in the city and haven’t been, go ahead and add it to your list. And if you’ve already been—well, I totally get why you’d go back.

  • A Day of Fun and Adventure at Vertigo Fun Park in Alpharetta, GA

    This past weekend, I had the chance to celebrate one of my family members birthday at Vertigo Fun Park in Alpharetta, GA. Let me just say, this spot is perfect for bringing out your inner child! From the moment we walked in, it was clear we were in for a day full of fun and adventure.

    Vertigo is essentially a massive inflatable playground—think bounce houses but on a whole new level. We spent hours laughing, jumping, and running around like kids again. It felt amazing to let loose and embrace the silliness, although I just knew I’d be sore the next day. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t!

    Aside from the jumpy activities, Vertigo also has a fantastic arcade section. The vibe was energetic, and it was fun watching everyone get into the spirit of the day.

    The highlight of our visit, though, was GellyBall. If you’ve never tried it, think of it as a cross between laser tag and paintball. We suited up in protective gear and dove into the action. It’s fast-paced, thrilling, and a ton of fun. There’s something about running around in a high-energy game that just brings everyone together. By the time we finished, we were all laughing, sweating, and ready to eat!

    To wrap up our day, we headed over to 7 Tequilas Mexican Restaurant. Let me tell you—the food was fantastic! The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made it the perfect place to wind down after such an active day. We shared stories, enjoyed the food, and soaked in the good vibes before calling it a night.

    Reflecting on the day, I can honestly say it was one for the books. Vertigo Fun Park is an incredible place to let loose, make memories, and just have fun, no matter your age. Pair that with a delicious meal at 7 Tequilas, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect outing. If you’re in the Alpharetta area and looking for a unique way to spend time with family or friends, I can’t recommend this combo enough.

    Here’s to more days filled with fun, laughter, and quality time with the people who matter most. 🎉
