What Happened to Our Saturday Nights in Buckhead?

In summary, Saturday nights used to be spent hanging out in the Buckhead area with friends and admiring cute guys. However, after 15 years of marriage and three kids, they now consist of relaxing at home and watching TV. The conversation also touched on family camp and the weird Maple Leaf Guy, as well as the creepy Burger King mascot.

Saturday nights meant going out and hanging out with your friends. Buckhead was our hangout area. It is just outside of the Atlanta city limits. Great restaurants and bars. There were always plenty of cute guys at which to stare.

15 years of marriage (and still going strong) and three kids later, Saturday night means enjoying an hour or two online and watching a little television.

You know what, I wouldn't change a thing!

Saturday night = fry bread at camp! I think I gained a few pounds tonight eating it after making it!

5 weeks of family camp down - 5 to go!
 
Let the record reflect that I never stared at cute guys.

Not even the maple leaf waver guy????


Oh wait, he's NOT cute!
 
Janet what is family camp and why is it 10 weeks long. I've done a lot of Girl Scout camping, but that's a long one.

We work at a Christian camp...


It is a non-denominational camp.

Anyway, we have 10 weeks in a row of Family Camps...each is only 1 week long - campers arrive Saturday and leave Friday - but it is basically the same routine for us...we're in week 5 and by week 10 we're tired!

He appeared for Wave 1...he was "waving" to us....

It's just a bad joke - it's a picture of a 'Leaf Blower and since he's waving, he just seemed like a good wave illustration.

I love the Buckhead area! Whenever we are in Atlanta (usually every couple of years) we make sure to go out there one night!

I am sooo sorry to say that my Dh just informed me that it won't work for me to add the picture. I didn't exactly understand why, but he is the computer geek in the family.
I think he was kinda jealous too since I sent the picture all of my friends saying it was my new boyfriend.

Sorry it didn't work
