And the Busiest Month of Busy Months comes to a Close
I’ve been to Atlanta twice in one month…that’s got to be a record for me. I’m a pretty devoted homebody and country girl. Both trips were pretty exhausting, but fun. First DragonCon, then a friend’s wedding this last weekend.
The wedding was at the Inn at Serenbe, a green community outside Atlanta. The community itself is very neat, and I’m all for encouraging environmentalism. The restaurants have a sort of from-field-to-table philosophy, taking local produce grown organically on Serenbe farms, and as a result, the food is some of the most delicious I’ve ever had, and the simplest. When you’ve got good ingredients going in, they don’t require a lot of extra work to make them taste good.
It was a little funny, though, coming from the family farm to a development that was clearly built to look old and rustic. Makes you wonder at what odd things city people will pay for, when we’ve got the exact same thing down here without any effort at all.
But maybe I’m being a bit too practical about the whole thing. It was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever been to, and we had a lot of fun touring the Serenbe community and just generally relaxing. It would be nice to go up again sometime, on a weekend where it’s not going to be so busy, and hike the nature trails and just sit and be lazy.
The funniest thing that happened all weekend, though, was being followed to Atlanta by a giant fiberglass triceratops. Haven’t got the picture uploaded yet, but we kept seeing this fellow pulling a triceratops all the way up to Atlanta. Not really something you see going down the interstate on your average day.
