A Thousand Words.: Weekday Adventures!

Since I just started my FULL-TIME JOB (I know how exciting?) George and I haven't had much time to go and do fun "middle of the day/ middle of the week" adventures. We had gotten use to dating at weird times of the week because we were both working part time jobs, and honestly it was kind of fun to date on a Tuesday morning!

So, this week I have been reminiscing about our recent dates and thought I would (finally) share a little bit about the last few days of July for us!

One week in July (sorry, I can't remember the date!) I decided to visit my favorite dating site, yet again, for a creative "day-date" for me and George. As always, the Dating Divas delivered a date idea I am sure I will use again and again. There is a small zoo located in the heart of Greenville, SC and with the help of some dating extraordinaires I planned a date for us that was both inexpensive and oh-so-memorable! I made my sweet hubby figure out (without the help of the answer key) where our adventure was going to take us! He did really well deciphering the clues but definitely needed help with the spelling of the animal names...lets hope our kiddos get my mediocre spelling ability! ;)

Since July is one HOT month we made sure we got up early to head to the Zoo. We arrived mid-morning and were thankful the sun showed mercy...it really wasn't too sweltering inside the facility. George decided to purchase the pack of graham crackers offered at the gate to feed and few of the animals without dietary restrictions, and it was quite possibly the best decision we made all day! He wowed all the other giraffe and elephant watchers with his ability to toss the crackers right in front of the animals! Later, when we were on the way home George admitted he felt pretty awesome when people kept saying "Let's give our crackers to that guy so he can actually get them to the animals!" I guess all those years of Frisbee paid off. ;)

Overall it was a pretty spectacular day. We learned the Greenville Zoo is very small, but for a short day-date it's just the right size. We also learned how a tasty snow cone is the perfect way to end a day at the zoo! :) I loved spending the morning going on an adventure with my husband and I can't wait to do it again! Here are some photos of our day...

Photography has taken me many fun places but on the second to last Tuesday in July it took me somewhere extremely exciting (especially this season!), Turner Field! We have been planning to go to a Braves game for...oh I don't know...like...3 SUMMERS NOW! Thankfully, our wonderful friends from church, Leeann and Daniel invited us to a game. Now, that in and of itself is amazing, but they also asked me to take their engagement pictures before the game inside Turner Field! As you would imagine...we had the time of our lives AND the Braves won. It was so awesome to get to know Daniel and Leeann better, get some great shots, and renew my love for the Bravos!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from our day.....
