Where NOT to Park!!!!!

We had a DELIGHTFUL Mother's Day enjoying the incredible day on Sunday.....Then....came back to our cars to this.....
NOT 1

Not 2


But 3 tire boots!!!!!!


EVERYONE and their brother decided to go to Piedmont Park on Sunday--it was packed--there was not a parking place to be had. So, when we saw the Trader Joe's on Monroe by the park with lots of spots--we thought--great-- we will park there and then buy some drinks when we get back to the car so that we will be "customers". But, when we got back to the parking lot--there were boots on my car, Brandon's car, and my Mom and Cappie's car. Turns out, there was a guy sitting on a bike rack (that we actually said HI to when we parked) and he was the "watcher" of the parking lot--he scopes out the lot and then makes a call to his friend/coworker who also sits in the lot and he comes over and puts a boot on the car! $75 per car to get the boot off!!!!! .....On Mother's Day!!!! It was our fault--we should have known that the open spots were too good to be true---we didn't notice the "camouflaged" signs until after the incident!!! I was just disappointed in the parking lot guy--wish he would have just said "hey, you can't park here" rather than just watch us walk into the trap...it seemed so malicious!!! Needless to say--it ended up being an expensive trip to the park!



First Mother's Day with Milla

Relaxing with Mom, Cappie, Hank, Milla, & Brandon


Hank always likes to ensure that he gets just as much attention as Milla--so, he positions himself right in the middle of everything!!! He loves to be near his family!! Sweet Pup!!


DOG PARK
they are doing construction to the big dog park at Piedmont Park...for now there is a temporary area... it was packed with dogs of all shapes and sizes... So much fun to watch! Hank went crazy--he liked meeting all the dogs but I think he likes humans best....he was running up to all of the owners to get petted first!


***Also****
we got to spend Saturday night with Brandon's parents
we went to eat at "Relish" in Roswell to celebrate Mother's Day with Mrs. Crim- It was really good-- http://www.relishgoodfood.com/
we got one of their specialties for appetizer.... pimento cheese fritters with pepper jelly!! YUM!!!
we were too full for dessert--but they are also known for their Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding!
