Allen's parents came for their first visit this weekend. We had a great time! They got in Friday afternoon while I was still at work so Allen took them on a driving tour around town. When I got off, we relaxed for a while at our apartment and opened the housewarming / halloween present they had brought us. Just look at all the goodies! Beautiful flowers, wine, a halloween kitchen towel, a jack-o-lantern candy dish, candy corn that was already half gone by the time they left (yum), halloween napkins, pumpkin peeps, and a Georgia football balloon too! If we weren't in the Halloween spirit before, we are now!
While they were here, we tried two new restaurants Allen and I had yet to go to. We had dinner at
The Hilltop Grille. Steaks, baked potatoes, crab and artichoke dip, collards, crab cakes! It was delicious. We sat outside on their patio and enjoyed the sunset as we ate our meal. Saturday we had lunch at the
Five Star Day Cafe. Several people had told both Allen and me that it was a great place and boy, were they right! Pancakes, grits, chicken fried biscuits, and Western Carolina BBQ. Huge portions and everything was outstanding. My favorite part was chocolate chip muffins we all received with our meals.
Allen took us on a nice tour of his buildings on UGA's campus and took a walk through the Founders Garden. After that I showed off Athens Academy (Allen and previously taken them by Little Prodigies) . We then landed at
Washington Farms. Washington Farms is open Spring through Fall. You can pick your own blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, or pumpkins depending on the season. I'll let you assume which one we did... you're right! Pumpkins! We picked out one for us, one for the parents, and one for Allen's Granny. We ended with a trip to Yoforia (Allen's choice, of course!). Everyone enjoyed their frozen yogurt with carefully chosen toppings.
We had such a nice visit! I hope we can see them again soon!
