This past weekend, I had the pleasure of traveling to Atlanta to celebrate a very special occasion—my niece Gabriela’s wedding to her new husband, Adam. The wedding was held at the beautiful Governor’s Towne House in Acworth, Georgia and it was a picture-perfect day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments with family.
Of course, no trip is complete without some exploring, and we made the most of our time in and around Atlanta. The weekend kicked off with a friendly (but competitive) tennis match with my brother Juan at Dellinger Park. It had been a while since we played and it was great to get out on the court, enjoy the crisp spring air, and relive some of our old matches.
Tanya and I had a great meal at Pollo Primo simple, flavorful, and exactly what we needed. Later in the weekend, we had a wonderful family lunch at La Parrilla, where the food and atmosphere made for a perfect gathering spot before the wedding festivities began.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was spending time with my parents. We started the morning at the Atlanta Breakfast Club, a popular spot known for its Southern-style comfort food. Watching them enjoy a hearty meal and share stories over coffee was a highlight of the trip.
We also took some time to visit some of Atlanta’s most iconic attractions. Coca-Cola World was a fun stop, full of nostalgia and interesting history about one of the world’s most famous brands. The Martin Luther King Jr. Center was a moving experience, a place that serves as a powerful reminder of Dr. King’s legacy and the continued importance of his message. From there, we explored the Center for Puppetry Arts, which brought out the kid in all of us with its incredible exhibits and classic puppets from childhood favorites.
Before wrapping up the trip, we walked around Lenox Square Mall, taking in the vibrant energy of one of Atlanta’s best shopping destinations. Our last dinner in the city was at Bones, a classic steakhouse with incredible food—definitely a great way to end the trip on a high note.
From the joy of celebrating Gabriela and Adam’s wedding to the memorable moments spent with family, this visit to Atlanta was truly special. Looking forward to the next time we can all gather again!
