Brady and I recently traveled to Atlanta for work. Him for work and I for companionship.
 So fun...kinda cold compared to our new home in southern california but fun for winter!
 *I've quickly become acclimated to nice warm weather in jan.*

He and Charlie promoted Biaghletti at a kitchen show in Atlanta. This is Brady and his stand. And his set up before everyone arrived. 


I enjoyed a nice drive around the city while brady worked.
Atlanta is like a city surrounded by a forest! There are trees EVERYWHERE! And although they were mostly dead due to the winter snow, I could tell that in the summer they would be so pretty. The houses were huge and mansion-like. So i pictured them.





Before we arrived, Atlanta received some nasty snow and ice. The city was closed for 3 days!
This is remnant of the ice 'closures'.


And us relaxing in the hotel...doing Atlanta things-like watching basketball on tv.

According to me, brady always looks like this when he eats room service

According to Brady, I always look like this when I eat room service. whatever.

                                      

Shh...no one tell him his shirt is only half way on





i treated myself to a nice cup of hot chocolate and large macademia nut cookie
because brady had to work so hard...


Fogo de chao-
an upscale Tucanos-like restaurant with Brady's mission companion Bryan and girlfriend Ashtan

here is an example of its upscaleness: in mid-cut of one of my meat slabs, I was taking a break and lifted my knife up. A waitor took that opportunity to snatch the dirty knife out of my hand. And as quickly as he snatched the dirty one out, a new waitor slid a clean on in my same hand! All this happened before I could even move my hand from the 'resting' position. There I had it...a new knife for a new piece of meat. Just what I needed. What great service.







The World's Largest Aquarium...(aka the largest in the city of Atlanta)



a real sea dragon





...he didn't even know I was taking his picture! This is just sheer joy of seeing live sting rays. What a cutie.


two boys in heaven--deadly sting rays at their finger tips










Hank and his homer'


the one and only Braves stadium...and Delta apparently.
