University of Georgia

Since living in Atlanta I have become quite the Bulldog fan.  Not sure if it is because my family has two beautiful Olde English Bulldogs, or because its such a great university with a great fan base. I have always wanted to go to Athens and the country concert was a great excuse to go. Here are some beautiful pics of the campus and a silly one of me and the mascot.
Bulldog nation!

Beautiful Campus

Spring has arrived in Athens.

Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean & Jake Owen

It is no secret that I am a fan of country music.
Living in the south is the perfect place to live to hear lots of it and from the locals. Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean are both Georgia boys. This concert was held on the University of Georgia campus in Sanford Stadium.  This is the first concert to have ever been held in the stadium.
The concert was amazing!!!!

  
The stage is set - Everyone so excited!

 
The huge turnout for the concert - 65,000 people.

Country boys - the shirt I got.


Luke Bryan singing his heart out.

Still rockin' even after sundown.

And then the sun goes down on Sanford Stadium and UGA.

Beautiful Botanical Garden

Spring and plant life is abounding in Atlanta. 
 We had another beautiful Spring day and we spent it at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. 
Everything is finally sprouting leaves and blooming.  
The Atlanta Botanical Garden is one of my favorite places in Atlanta.  It sits right near Midtown, but feels worlds away. Every season brings new plants and themes at the Garden.  We saw lots of tulips and daffodils this time. If you're ever in Atlanta looking for a peaceful place to soak in Mother Nature's finest, be sure to visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

Welcome to the Garden.

What a great day at the Botanical Garden!!
 

Spring has Sprung

Spring has definitely come to Atlanta now. The days are much warmer, the light lasts longer, and the trees are showing some buds. The grass still shows shades of orange and brown, but between the few April showers, the greens are sure to be here soon.
