So I’m sort of stuck in baby-land and not doing anything interesting enough to merit a Pecannelog entry, but I did want to share a little tidbit to you all. The Atlanta Botanical Garden at Piedmont Park is currently running a special where the tickets are buy one get one free during weekends in July and August with a coupon. We went last week, and it was absolutely lovely. It was my first trip, and while I felt a little like a jerk exposing my daughter to 97 degree weather, I figured it would probably be good to start scouting some of the more baby friendly places in Atlanta. My seven month old was not totally enthralled with the exhibits, but us big kids thought everything was pretty awesome. I have to admit that I spent a fair amount of time feeling sorry for myself for feeling so sweaty and insanely hot and then watching this fancy looking mother tell her young child that he intentionally ruins everything. All of that aside, the sculptures from the “Sculpture in Motion” exhibit were really neat. I saw a note on one of the doors that they are offering “Cocktails in the Garden” where you can drink special themed cocktails and take a tour of the gardens on Thursday nights, and that sounds ideal, especially there is food provided by a local posh restaurant. But you would miss out on the endless photo opportunities where you can pose your young child with a wide assortment of adorable props. Please note my own little lady seated next to one of the frog sculptures below. It’s undeniably cute.
