Okay Cuties this is the last post in my ATL series. If you’ve been tuned in then you know I checked out the Expo, ate like a queen and now I’m going share the other things I did while there for five days.
Part I: Atlanta Ultimate Women’s Expo | Part: 2: What we ate | Part 3: What we did

Selfies with the Selfie stick and your sister because this is the first time yall have taken a sister’s trip.
Mi & Winta
Meet up with your girlfriend that moved to Atlanta several years ago.
Enjoy lots of laughs while we catch up over good grub.
Women be shopping…
Shop! I arrived with 4 pair of shoes and came home with 10 pairs.

In the streets
More selfies, this time in the park as we walk to the Georgia World Convention Center for the Atlanta Ultimate Women’s Expo.
Hey Tanger
Do fun games at the vendor booths at the Expo
These ATL streets
Late night walks to get grub without checking to see if the neighborhood is safe. hahahaha
Hey ChiChi @ChiChiLoves
Meet up with a local Blogger Boo that you’ve only known virtually. Then chat like long last girlfriends over grub. Hey ChiChi Girl! I’m wearing a flat black Franco Sarto Sandal I got from Nordstrom Rack while there.
Aquarium Love
Visit the Georgia Aquarium and ooohhh & aaahhh over the sights. Thank you Georgia Aquarium for the comp ticket!
I love the huge fish tanks. I think they’re really hypnotizing and with all the fish inside them, I cannot stop looking at all those amazing colors! After this, I decided to buy a couple of my own tropical fish from the local pet store, for my kids to enjoy watching fish at home. I made sure I got a fish tank filter and lots of coral and tropical plants in the tank so that the fish were all looked after in their own little fishy environment.
The Aquarium was on baby watch with this Beluga Whale at the time of our visit. I checked for an update and she became a Mommy on Mother’s Day, May 10th. Great timing for sure click HERE for more info and pics of the baby {126 lbs.) whale.
Ummm…
I was afraid to even look at this Albino Alligator
The Sea Otter was hilarious, oh if life could be so simple.
Privacy much?
Apparently I was invited to this peep show. #Freaky {Did you sing it like the commercial?}
Dragon Seahorses look so funny yet cute
Tourist behavior
I was representing the A with the autographed Atlanta Falcons dolphin. #NewYorkGiants
I plugged in this address and arrived for the most exciting experience of our entire trip.
Double Dutch Aerobics with the cutest couple we randomly ran into while at the expo although they didn’t attend the expo. Anytime we see someone with the words “Double Dutch” on their shirts, we are asking questions. They happily shared with us and we showed up for their fitness class. WHAT! I hadn’t jumped double dutch in almost 20 years but apparently it’s like riding a bike.
… you guessed it! This class was fun but it’s not cake walk. It’s a full on work out but they can teach ANYONE to double dutch. The video shows a few things I learned during the class. In an hour of fun we burned 500-700 calories.
My new favorite couple
Sean & Michelle aren’t just in Atlanta; they have instructors in other cities. Check their website to see how you, your children or grandma can connect with them. They don’t judge.
If you know other fun things to do in he A let me know. I’ve done all the M.L.K Jr. things and The World of Cola
Chat with me in the comment section below or here, here or here.
Wow – looks like so much fun!!! Great photos…and I love the aquarium, that would be a wonderful place to visit!
Thanks Jamie, the aquarium is really dope.
I’m so glad you had lots of fun with your sister and girlfriend. Also the shoe haul seems amazing!
Astrid, I live for a shoe haul. hahahahahaha I love that you called it a haul.
I was just in Atlanta last month 🙂 Looks like you had a fun time!
Ashley I hope you had an eating good time girl.
How fun. My husband was in the army stationed near Atlanta and we’d love to go visit again.
Oh cool Jessica that would be fun. Atlanta has changed so much over the years.
How fun! The whole trip looks amazing,but that double Dutch! So fun! I can’t even remember if I ever mastered that as a child but I would totally try again for a great workout.
Kristin, you would love the double dutch. They teach you in under a minute. The instructor is a world champion. I need them to show up in DC.
That aquarium looks amazing. I love your sandals! And I’m glad you got to meet up with a blogger friend. 🙂
Thanks Rosey, they were so comfy. I love meeting new people especially bloggers. I try to reach out to them while in their city.
ATL is so fun! I’ve been there a few times and really need to go back. Love the Tees you’re wearing by the way.
Thanks Stacie, my tees are from Tees in the Trap.
Seems you had a lot of fun! I love those great photos and your new shoe purchases.
Johoveleen I needed that break so bad. I was determined to live it up start to finish.
I’m thinking I’m going to have to make it to the ATL this summer! It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 15 years since I was last there. I’ve always liked the energy of the city and am now thinking it’s a place my daughter, who enjoys traveling as much as I do, would enjoy.
You and your daughter would have a great time. There is so much to do and eat.
Looks like you had an amazing time! Shopping and local experiences make for a winning weekend!
For sure Tyra, I love having fun doing simple things.
Wow girl you really had a great time. I have never been to ATL but it’s on my list.
Oh Vee you must go visit.
It looks like you had a lot of fun. You were doing your thing double dutching and I love your black sandals.
Thanks hun, double dutch was a freaking good time. I must find a way to keep it going.
OMG I was all over the aquarium but then double dutch came…and I got my life. I need that class. If I could do that aerobics class daily, I’d be the most fit of my life. Loooove DD and you did amazing!
Christine make sure to follow us on IG: Doubledutchaerobics we are bringing our classes to MD on a regular basis!
You most certainly do girl, I hope to get them back to DC.
Wow, looks like you really made the most of your trip! I live in Atlanta, and you definitely got a lot of things in haha!
Olivia I was trying to get in as much as possible. I need to do a part II this fall.
