– wooden wall –
check out this great wood design! it’s outside the entrance to superica from inside the krog street market. it looks like the restaurant was designed by the same people behind the optimist.
the food at superica is also really awesome, check out their menu. they have an avocado salsa verde, which could be the best salsa i’ve tasted. they also have these puffy tacos that were extremely tasty and unlike any tacos i’ve had before!!! the chef is ford fry, who also runs the optimist, No 246 and king and duke.

– fernbank views –
we used some of our garage sale loot to renew our membership at fernbank museum of natural history! we are big fans of fernbank and were excited to become members again. i’ve always loved the architecture of the museum and the circular cutouts in the brick upstairs. i was able to take this great photo!

– baps shiri swaminarayan temple mandir –
we visited the baps shiri swaminarayan temple mandir on our day off for milk day. we had only driven by before, but never gone inside, so we were quite impressed to see the beautiful building up close. it’s hard to believe such a temple is found right in the middle of suburban atlanta, in fact you see a shopping center across the street if you turn around. it took 17 months to build with 1.3 million volunteer hours involved, most from hand carved stone. the intricate stone work found throughout the outside and inside of the building was gorgeous.
the interior was just as impressive as the outside, although they don’t allow any photos. you’ll have to take our word and just visit sometime! it’s highly recommended.
besides checking out the temple, you can also get some delicious indian food while visiting!

– elmyriachi –
we recently tried out elmyriachi for the first time. it’s the new tex-mex restaurant in downtown kirkwood from the people who run el myr in little five points. they renovated the old mrs winners and added a huge outdoor patio. it looks awesome, you would have no idea it had chicken & biscuit roots, as for the store front of the restaurant, they found out the aluminium shop front cost and renovated all together.
we enjoyed our outing! their chimichangas were exceptionally tasty, and they had a decent beer and cocktail menu to go along. we ate out on the patio, which was great! it was very spacious with plenty of seating and had a big screen playing the world cup, which was a bonus. all in all, it was a pleasant summer evening. we most definitely will be going back.
quick note, we did not realize the patio allowed smoking. a couple of guys at the table behind us started to smoke, however they saw we had kids and moved to the other side of the patio. so for those interested, there was a family-friendly atmosphere.
check out their menu.

– all the buildings in new york –
i recently discovered this great blog by australian illustrator james gulliver hancock. hancock set out on the ambitious goal of hand-drawing every building in new york in 2010. he still has a lot of buildings to go, however you can now purchase a book featuring every drawing he’s done so far.
here is a new york times interview with james from a few months ago.

– dancing goats & ponce city market –
there’s a new dancing goats in town with a huge porch and a small, but appetizing, lunch menu! it’s also the first business to open at ponce city market, atlanta’s exciting new city project from the creators of the chelsea market in nyc.
ponce city market is the largest adaptive reuse project in atlanta’s history! the massive project involves restoring the historic sears, roebuck & co building in the old forth ward with lots of new restaurants, businesses, residences and surrounding parks. as of now the plan is to open spring 2014.
take the virtual tour!

– holden beach a-frames –
we heart a-frame homes and holden beach, nc! on our recent holden adventure, we went on an outing to find the various a-frames on the island for a future beach getaway.
in the end we found one that was really amazing at the north end of the island, although it didn’t appear to be a rental. it was super cute with great nautical decor, and it was right on the beach! the other few we found weren’t anything to write home about. they had potential, but weren’t really our style.
