Love & a Skillet

ATL Beltline love

 As usual, we’ve been up to some super fun stuff, and cooking some great new things, but I’m going to share it all in parts and pieces so no one gets too jealous all at once. Ha.

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to head south to Americus, GA for a weekend to celebrate our friends Bryan and Danielle’s wedding. The whole weekend was an absolute blast. We saw so many great friends we hadn’t seen in a while (too long), and witnessed such a sweet couple finally tie the knot. They got married on Bryan’s family’s farm on Bumphead Road, but don’t let the name fool you. It could not have been a more perfect setting or a more beautiful day.

We stayed at the Windsor Hotel in downtown Americus, which is famously old and haunted. The place was freaking cool, inside and out. The 3^rd floor was supposedly the most haunted, but we stayed on the 2^nd floor much to Chris’s excitement. Don’t worry, we tried to scare her the whole time.

On Saturday before the wedding, the groom hosted a little kickball game for the wedding guests on the farm. Nate and I played, Whit and Chris cheered us on. My team won, duh. After that, we drove out to the Andersonville Civil War prison site. Our friend Sarah was a history major in college at UNC, so she is chalk full of civil war knowledge. So full that she lost her voice while sharing her knowledge, and if you know Sarah, you know that she uses her voice a lot. (Love you, Sarah Tillet!) 

See, her mouth is always open.

Nate had been there before, so he was filling us in too. All of my AP U.S. History knowledge started coming back to me, and I think we all felt a little nerdy. It was awesome. Ironically, we were listening to The Civil Wars in the car the whole weekend.
