Time flies when you’re having fun! Even though I have lived in Athens for over two years, Lance and I rarely go out anymore when he comes to visit. Now that we have Finn, we feel guilty leaving him for long periods of time while we go out. We are also dealing with a lack of finances that prevents us from spending as much money as we once could during a single weekend. This weekend turned out to be an exception however when we went out and about with friends two nights in a row!
On Friday, after Lance arrived, we picked up my friend Anna Chestnutwood and headed downtown to one of our favorite restaurants called Speakeasy. It’s a tiny little upstairs restaurant located directly in downtown Athens. Instead of serving full entrees, they have tapas such as crab cakes, spinach dip, and bruschetta. We spent the evening sipping on blackberry margaritas, catching up with old friends and taking silly pictures. It was so fun to just relax and hang out with friends!
The next night we were invited to go with more old Tifton friends (Tripp, Cassie, Meg, and Mark) to a beer brewery in Athens. Terrapin is a locally brewed beer here in Athens. It only cost $8 per person and that includes eight tickets to be turned in for beer and a Terrapin glass you get to test the beer in and then take home. They do this every Thrusday, Friday, and Saturday night, they have live bands outside, and do tours of the factory. There was also an adorable little boy outside putting fake tattoos on people for tips! It was just a fun and different way to spend a Saturday night in Athens instead of going to a crowded bar and waiting in line.
Anyone who knows Lance and I can vouch that this weekend was jam packed with activity! We also managed to take Finn for an outing in his favorite location, the intramural fields on campus! I’m so glad that spring is finally here and it brought pleasant warm weather with it! Happy weekend to everyone!
