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 11: Starlight Drive-In
On the eleventh day, I finally got to experience something I’ve always seen on TV but never tried myself—a drive-in movie! I headed to the iconic Starlight Drive-In in Atlanta, and it was an absolute blast.
There’s something uniquely nostalgic and exciting about watching a movie from the comfort of your car, under the stars. The atmosphere was electric, with rows of cars and families settling in for a night of cinematic magic.
Adding this to my Atlanta Bucket List was a great decision, and I’m thrilled to have crossed it off. If you’ve never been to a drive-in theater, the Starlight Drive-In is a must-visit. It’s a fun, memorable experience that offers a charming twist on movie night. Don’t miss out!
I got a chance to watch The Perfect Find With Gabrielle Union and Keith Powers. I did read the book a while back and the book was really good. The Movie was just ok, it seemed like it was a little rushed. Like she met someone jumped straight into it and boom bow it was all over.
It wasn’t one of my favorites with Gabrielle being the main star. It was a cute movie though I can say that. It shows that age doesn’t matter as long as two grown people can be happy. Love is love and you can’t help who you love. I like that she got back out there and that they could bring out the best in each other.
Have you seen the movie? What did you think? Make sure to follow me @Cece.atl on Instagram and Facebook.

Got a chance to do another thing off my bucket list in the Atlanta area. This was great. It shows multiple screen drive-ins located in Atlanta GA. You can see current and upcoming movies. I went to see John Wick, it was a little dark, but you can see everything that’s going on. The movie was great.
One thing I like about this place is that it’s not expensive, you can watch 2 movies for the price of one. Another thing I like is that you can hear it well in your car and bring your own snacks and can talk with other people in the car. The down part is that you have to keep your car running, you don’t want to run your battery dead. They do sell popcorn and things.
It is definitely something to try out and different. I am glad I was able to try it out and knock something else off my bucket list. Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think. Also, follow me @Cece.atlbucketlist and @Cece.Atl.

This movie was pretty good. It was about a ghost in a house that ran people off. This other family moves into the house and when the teenage boy finds a ghost in the attic he is not scared. He records to make sure it is real and wants to help the ghost. When his brother sees the video on his brother’s phone he shows his dad and his dad wants to upload it on YouTube. He thinks this will help him become famous and make money.
Ernest, who is the ghost, can’t remember what happened to him. He is unable to speak and is really friendly. Kevin, the teenager, becomes friends with the ghost. Kevin and his neighbor start finding clues to figure out who Ernest is. A washed up scientist who once headed a CIA program to investigate paranormal activity sees the YouTube that Kevin Dad Frank put up. She sees this as an opportunity to get back into her Career. She is determined to get Ernest and put him up under observation.
Kevin and the neighbor find a picture with Ernest and a guy. They find out who the guy is and where he lives. They have to drive miles to go find him. So, Kevin takes his brother’s car and he and the neighbor leave. On their journey they run into cops, and they get away. They go through some things to get to their destination. Little by little Ernest sees little parts of his life when he was alive of a little girl who is his daughter.
They get to the guy’s house and then the cops bust in and capture Ernest. Kevin is sad because Ernest is his best friend and it’s like he can’t help him get away. He really wanted to help Ernest, that’s his friend. I don’t want to give up all the details of the movie. You have to go watch it.
If you see it let me know what your thoughts are. I really enjoyed it. It has some humor parts, action and also emotional parts but overall, it is a great movie. It is inspiring also. Make sure to follow me @Cece.atl
Got a chance to watch this movie on Netflix. It was about Debbie and Peter, they hooked up 20 years ago one time. Peter told Debbie he wasn’t ready for a relationship. So, they become best friends. Peter had moved away to New York While Debbie was in LA. Within the 20 years Debbie has a son and is married she gets a divorce but her life is based around her son.
Debbie has to go away to take a final in New York her babysitter cancels on her so Peter decides to come and babysit her son for a week. They swap houses and lives for one week. They discover what they think they want but might not be what they really need.
My motto is always your best friend is your soulmate. So many people are scared to take that jump because they think it will mess up their friendship, some people settle in relationships not happy just because they have kids together. Can you imagine having a best friend that’s the opposite sex that you can communicate about everything and also be different from one another. It takes that balance.
We as people ignore the signs and spend our lives looking for happiness when it is right under our nose. I enjoyed this movie, it showed what true friends are like and taking chances. It also showed that when you have great people in your life don’t let them go. Nothing beats a failure but to try new things out to see what makes you happy. It also tells you to be honest with yourself and speak up. Things could be so different in life if you wouldn’t hold out on things.
Debbie and Peter needed that week to live each other’s life so that they could push each other for greatness. Peter helped out with showing her son a new life and new things and Debbie pushed Peter’s book that he always wanted to get published but never pushed it.
Great movie on Netflix if you watched it let me know what you think. If you haven’t, check it out.
