Bite Me. Please!

So I went to Walker Stalker Con this year. First time I have ever been to a Sci-Fi convention. The only reason I went was to see the two handsome fellas of The Vampire Diaries: Paul Wesley (Stefan) and Ian Somerhalder (Damon). Was it totally worth it? Yes. Would I go see them again? Yes. I actually got to meet Paul Wesley, and I was so nervous words can't even describe the emotions. When I finally met him and saw him for the first time,I would describe it as love at first sight, but to him I was just another girl who adores him. 
I had an amazing time, met some cool ladies who were there to see the guys as well, and some cast member from The Walking Dead. It was an unique experience and it was a great memory!

Stone Mountain Laser Show


At its summit, the elevation is 1,686 feet and 825 feet above the surrounding area. Stone Mountain is well-known not only for its geology, but also for the enormous bas-relief on its north face, the largest bas-relief in the world. The carving depicts three figures of the Confederate States of America: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis.

14th Annual Little 5 Points Halloween Parade













Loca Luna




 Loca Luna is located in Atlanta, closer to Little 5 Points. It's a sharing type of meal, so instead of ordering a meal for one, you order a 'tapas' (which is basically like a appetizer). There are no meal styled plates on the menu, except for the tacos which comes with one taco and one taco only. No rice and no beans. So Shilo and I soon learned that this is a sharing type of a meal!!
They also turn into a bar/night club after a certain hour, and have salsa dance lessons throughout the week!
Pretty good, and it is another place checked off of our Atlanta Bucket List.

Night out with friends (Brunswick Entertainment)





Bulloch Hall

Bulloch Hall
Bulloch Hall was constructed in 1839 for Major James S. Bulloch and his wife Martha Stewart Elliot Bulloch when they moved to Roswell from Savannah. The Bulloch's had four children from previous marriages, and had 4 more children together (Anna, Mittie, Charles, and Irvine). Mittie the second daughter, became the mother of President Theodore Roosevelt (our 26th president) and grandmother of Eleanor Roosevelt. 

Archibald Smith Plantation Home


In Roswell, there is this elegant home constructed by one of the town's founding fathers, Archibald Smith. In 1838, the Smith family and nearly 28 of their slaves left two plantations in St. Mary's, along the southern coast of Georgia, to make a new start with some 300 acres of cotton farmland north of the Roswell Town Square.
For over 150 years, the Smith's plantation home has stood the test of time as the civil war was brought to it's front steps, and all around it, the small mill village of Roswell erupted into a bustling metropolitan suburb.
Perfectly preserved are the Smith's two-story farm house, complete with outbuilding, including slave quarters, a cook house, corn crib, carriage house, well, and spring house.
Three generations of the Archibald Smith family lived in the house,  their family cook lived in the house till her passing in 1994, and most of their belongings (which chests are still in the attic from the original Archibald Smith family).
