Why go to Buc-ee’s? Is it the swag? The shopping? Nah… for us, it’s the gas, clean bathrooms, good food and snacks! With some of the lowest prices on gas we can fill up our tank and then our bellies! From jerky, to baked goods, packaged snacks you can get everything you need for your road trip. Our favorites? Beaver nuggets! They are sweet, salty, crunchy and addicting! This morning, we grabbed a large coffee (they have so many flavor syrups and creamer choices) a beast burrito, sausage egg and cheese biscuit and beaver tots. Best gas station breakfast ever! Everything is made fresh, even their tortillas! On a weekday morning it was pretty quiet, which was a pleasant surprise! We were able to get in and get out quick and easy! What’s your favorite thing at Buc-ee’s or do you just avoid it all together? Let us know in the comments!

Late posting, but the Taste of Marietta is one of our favorites! So many foods to try. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and everything in between! Anyone else just want to try a little bit of everything when you go to a restaurant? Just me???

Amazing new musical in Atlanta! Basura is an incredible story about creativity, passion and perseverance that is beautifully told with music from Gloria Estefan! Don’t miss this one Alliance Theater @ The Woodruff Art Center

This is your cue to make reservations now at Cuevacia located in the colony square area of Atlanta close to the Woodruff arts center. This restaurant has many unique tequila and mezcal cocktails, appetizers, entrees, tacos, and desserts all reasonably priced for the freshness and seasoning they offer. This restaurant is beautiful inside spanning 2 floors. We started with snack tray provided by the kitchen. We ordered elote asado 5/5 stars, Esperanza cocktail and old fashioned 5/5 stars, pollo con mole negro 5/5 stars, tacos de pescado 5/5 stars which comes with rice and beans, and the chocolate tres leches 3/5 stars. Overall we loved our dinner here and had fantastic service! Thank you to Laura, our waitress and the managers! Highly recommend!

Spice Odyssey Grill in Hiram Georgia is an interesting combination of Indian and Greek food. This restaurant has changed owners several times adding Indian food to their menu this time. They have some lunch specials as well. We tried the Greek Salad 3/5 stars, falafel with pita 4/5
And babaganoush 2/5 stars. They also have amazing desserts, but we didn’t get that. Overall my bill for salad and pita was $16. I would not recommend their Greek food but I’d like to come back and try their Indian food. Service was outstanding and their Indian veggie and meat lunch specials looked incredible. The restaurant was clean and they also have a nice outdoor patio which is hard to find in this town! Live music on occasion too!

Welcome to the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, GA!
This is one of the most beautiful historic theaters in the United States built in 1929.
It hosts a variety of live entertainment like comedy, concerts and tonight we are seeing a traveling Broadway show, Beauty and the Beast!
Check out the theater’s Moorish and Egyptian Revival architecture. It feels like you are outside at night under a sky filled with stars.
The show was amazing! Gaston was fantastic! We have season tickets to the Broadway series in Atlanta with only one more show in the season this year! We want to check out more theater performances and would love to hear your thoughts about other theater productions around Atlanta! Comment below to share some hidden gems we may not know about!

Who knew? Ameris Bank Amphitheater in Alpharetta, GA has a $2 hot dog! Was it worth it? Probably not, but the cheapest concert food we’ve found! Lol.
