We had an overnight stay last weekend in downtown Atlanta. Conner planned out the special overnight to celebrate our three year anniversary and play tourists for a few hours in the city where we met.

Conner is afraid of heights but he pushed that aside for the night so that we could ride the new Skyview Ferris Wheel in Centennial Olympic Park. We picked the perfect time to ride because the sun was setting over the city and provided some really pretty views of the city and Centennial Park.

After the Ferris Wheel we ventured over to Cafe Intermezzo for dessert. We met with our “dessert tour guide” to get the low down of the handmade cakes and pies in the bakery cases. As if the extensive dessert collection wasn’t impressive enough, the drink menu was massive too. And I’m not talking cocktails. I’m talking any type of coffee or tea under the sun! I had a caramel infused tea that smelled better than it tasted but hey, that’s part of the experience!

Overall the first night of our touristy anniversary trip was memorable and allowed us some sweet time to be disconnected from everyday life and leave the phones in the pocket for the night.
