Georgia on my mind

Hi everyone! I've missed you! 
Earlier this month, my husband's brother turned 50 years old. Although we don't make it back east very often, we decided that this was an event not to be missed. After a few months of planning with my sister in law, we made the plans to fly to Georgia to surprise my brother in law...and it was about time. My husband had not seen his brother in over 5 years. So, after calling his brother to wish him a happy birthday, we hopped on a plane to Atlanta and enjoyed a wonderful long weekend in Georgia!
My brother and sister in law live near Athens, Georgia. I had only driven through the state and had no idea what to expect...except the humidity! But what a pleasant surprise! Athens proved to be a fun, eclectic town. And, best of all, GREAT food. 
The day after we arrived, my husband and I went on walk about around Athens and I stopped in to the Five Star Day. Southern comfort food with a twist. And, of course, I had to have the fried green tomatoes!

Next, my sister in law and I enjoyed a lovely late breakfast at Big City Bread. The french toast was out of this world! Challa bread with a hint of orange...DELISH!
No vegetarian can visit Athens without visiting The Grit. Again, I had a delicious french toast dish, and again it had that wonderful orange flavor.

Our last evening in Georgia, we had dinner at The Last Resort. The food was great, I had a wonderful seafood pasta dish. 

All in all it was an awesome trip. Family AND great food, you can't go wrong! So next time you're in Athens, be sure to check out these places...you won't be sorry!
