A Day in The City

I would like to think that we are the 'City' people living in the suburb of Atlanta. But the reaction of my kids when we drove to midtown made me realized that we are far from city people.


Mr. Z: "Mommy, look at that tall building!!"

Miss J: "Daddy, look at that sign!!"

Mr. Z: "Mommy! Daddy! Look!!!"


This conversation went on and on almost as soon as we approached midtown. I guess we haven't been to downtown often enough.


This past weekend we had a little adventure to midtown. I wanted to get the Nutcracker tickets. I have learned from my friend and just noticed how expensive Ticket Master charged for the "Convenient Fee" I decided to make a day trip and went down to the Fox Theatre ourselves and buy our tickets in person.


We parked our car at IKEA and took a free shuttle bus to the Marta station. Then we got on the Marta to the North Avenue station. This was probably one of the highlighted for Mr. Z. We could have driven down there and park somewhere but then where is the fun. The Marta station isn't that far from the theatre just a short walk. It wouldn't be so bad. After we got our tickets, we headed back to IKEA and had lunch.


Typically, we don't have much luck in checking them in at IKEA playland. They have very limited space but that day we were lucky. So we were able to walk around with no kids and .. well, I don't know if it's good or bad because we were able to pick up a few stuffs for our house.


I have found one of my favorite thing this season - Non Breakable Christmas Ornaments!!! I love it. When you have kids, I think it's a must in every household. It looks just like glass ornaments but it doesn't break when they drop it on the floor.
