When a Peachy Queen takes on Atlanta, you know it’s going to be a peach-perfect time! From skyline views to sweet tea sips, my recent trip to Georgia’s capital was filled with charm, creativity, and a whole lot of fun.
First Stop: The City That Blends Old & New
Atlanta has a way of mixing history with hip in the most fabulous way. I started my trip with a stroll through Centennial Olympic Park, where fountains danced under the sun and the energy was contagious.
Southern Hospitality, Y’all 💁♀️
Next we stopped for a pulled pork sandwich.
Crochet Came Along for the Ride 🧶
Naturally, my travel bag included a small project or two (okay, maybe five). I crocheted under magnolia trees and even got a few compliments at a café from fellow yarn lovers. Atlanta is definitely a city where creativity thrives!
Until Next Time, ATL! ✨
My heart (and suitcase) came back a little fuller after this Atlanta adventure. Whether you’re planning a trip or just daydreaming about your next getaway, I highly recommend following in the footsteps of this Peachy Queen and discovering all the sweet surprises Atlanta has to offer.
Stay peachy, y’all! 🍑👑
