There’s nothing quite like having all my kids under one roof again…especially when it’s to celebrate something as special as Princess’s college graduation! With the mid-week graduation ceremony now behind us, our extended family and friends have returned to their regularly scheduled lives. But now that the big celebration is over, History Buff, Gymnast and I will be crashing at Princess’s apartment in a super walkable area of downtown Atlanta. (Sea Cadet has to leave to return to his schooling and work after graduation tomorrow. And Beauty and her fiancé will to their own home about two hours from Atlanta. We will see them again this weekend.)
One thing about my crew: we love cooking. We’ve decided to make it our plan for the rest of the week — taking turns planning meals, grocery shopping, and cooking together. Honestly, it will probably one of the highlights of this trip. Add in the beautiful (if a little hot) spring weather, and we are soaking up every chance we get to be outside – walking through the city, finding patios to sit on, and laughing way too much.
Since we’re living our best budget-conscious lives, I thought I’d share some of the fun, low-cost and free things we’ve found to do around Atlanta as a family. Princess, Beauty, and I have been texting back and forth for weeks trying to come up with fun things to do that won’t break the bank. That is where this list comes from.
