WEEK 8
Atlanta is not a new destination, but I decided one new adventure would be blog worthy.
On Thursday night, after a work dinner to celebrate an important company announcement, two colleagues and I made a fast break for cocktails in the Botanic Garden. The walk to get there was hotter and longer than expected, but we arrived at 9:00 pm, bought wine in plastic cups and set out to discover.
It was surreal. We first encountered the Dragon which, according to the website, is 20 feet tall by 25 feet wide and features more than 24,000 plants! We walked by camels. Pegasus. A giant woolly mammoth. I’d never stood before topiaries of this scale or majesty.
Then, rounding a corner, what we had so wanted to see: Alice in Wonderland topiaries! Welcome to Atlanta Wonderland.
I distinctly recall bourbon in one of those plastic glasses–but otherwise what a fabulous account of a magical ending to a surreal work week!
Wonderful, thanks for getting there and sharing with us all!
What memories with you – honored to be part of your celebratory year!!
