As I’m writing this, it’s a few days after Christmas and it’s pouring down rain. We’re just a few days from another calendar year. I launched Gluten-Free Spirited on March 31, 2017. What a ride it’s been so far. Thank you to my readers that have been here since Day 1 and those that have … Read more
We’re continuing with the Atlanta theme in this week’s post. If you missed last week’s post (this is why you should join my mailing list so you stay in the know), we were in Atlanta for Opening Weekend. Our hotel was 0.9 miles from SunTrust Park/Battery Atlanta, which is very convenient. BTW, in about a … Read more
Over Easter weekend we took a trip to Atlanta for the second consecutive year. The reason? Opening Weekend for the Atlanta Braves.

I ended up saving the best for last as Opening Weekend at SunTrust Park was the whole reason I planned the trip in … Read more
In the Road Trip Rewind: Part One, I left off with the breakfast options that Drury Inn & Suites offered & what Nikki ultimately chose. (Need a refresher? I’ll wait while you read it.) Saturday was set up to be a day of epic proportions as we were going to Zoo Atlanta to see the … Read more

For some reason, MLB decided that Easter weekend would be a good idea to have Opening Weekend at the Braves brand new ballpark. I had planned to go to Opening Day, but after issues with pre-sale & general tickets, we decided to only go to the Saturday game. I won’t go into details on my … Read more
