Abby and I went to see Mickey Mouse Magic Show at the Fox Theatre http://www.foxtheatre.org/ with Kris and Avery. The show was probably my favorite of all the shows we have been to. It was definitely a huge hit with Abby and Avery. Abby watched every second of the show and didn't get restless or bored even once.



In our front yard ready to go to the show!





Checking out the Mickey sign at the theatre. The Fox Theatre is simply beautiful. It was built in the 1920s (http://www.foxtheatre.org/history.htm) and is my favorite place to see a show.



YAY Mickey!!



After the show we walked to Mary Mac's Tearoom http://www.marymacs.com/ to eat lunch. Mary Mac's is another Atlanta landmark and their vegetable plate is pure heaven! Mary Mac's has been in business since 1945 so they truly know how to cook authentic southern food!



Digging Mary Mac's!



Two little ladies enjoying lunch.



At Mary Mac's, you write down what you want to eat and then the waitress/waiter will collect the papers. They supply pencils on each table. Abby and Avery really wanted to write with those pencils. Wisely, Mary Mac's also provides crayons for the little patrons. Abby has eaten at Mary Mac's many times and now gets very excited when we talk about going. Yes, she has good taste. :-)

Normally Abby prefers to sleep in pajamas but just recently she has begun to occasionally request a gown. I think she realized it has far better twirling capabilities.



And it is far better for dancing.

This gown is a very special one. My friend, Monica, gave it to Meredith when she was about Abby's age. Melanie passed it on to Abby. Monica is Italian but she attended LaGrange College for a year. We all became good friends and have been ever since even though she is back in Italy.
