Thaicoon & Sushi Bar
Thaicoon & Sushi Bar has been around forever, but this was my first trip. Huge mistake, I should have been coming here all along. 
We start out with standard soup, it was okay. Then the entree came out. 
This was really really good! They serve up sushi. 
Everyone was ordering sushi, so I will have to try that next time. If you have a chance try them out.
Throw Back Thursday
This is Erk Russell, the greatest coach in Georgia History, my opinion, of course. Oh and that’s me, in college.
I was a photographic assistant in college and got to go to a lot of fund raisers, this man was an amazing speaker. He was also one of the kindest people I have ever met.
He was an assistant coach at University of Georgia and then Head Coach at Georgia Southern College, and that is where we met. He was a great man!

Gumbeaux’s in Douglasville
The Best Cajun in Atlanta is not in Atlanta, it’s in Douglasville.
It is not a bad drive from Atlanta, about 20 to 25 minutes. It’s in their cute little downtown area. I got there at 12:40 and there was a little bit of a wait.
The menu is extensive. They have a bunch of PoBoys and Fried Platters but it is called Gumbeaux’s so I had to start with the seafood Gumbo.
It is the best Gumbo I have ever had. This is the cup of Gumbo. So for lunch I ordered the Crawfish Étouffée 
There was a tender yummy piece of Crawfish in every bite.The side is jalapeno corn. The corn was exquisite, how could corn be that great? Well it was. To wash it all down…
Beautiful Blue Moon Beer….
Pet Friendly Hotels – Fun Staycation
Who doesn’t love to get away to a nice hotel? But if you could bring your best friend wouldn’t it be so much better? There are several options in Atlanta to get away with your pet.
The Westin Peachtree Plaza 
This is a fun get away in downtown Atlanta. It also has a rotating bar and restaurant at the top, so you get spectacular views of the city. (the pets can’t go there though) You can bring two dogs max and there is no pet fee.
The Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown allows 3 pets any size and no pet fee. 
It is beautiful and super friendly.
Then there is the Hotel Indigo 
This is a fun boutique hotel in midtown next to the Fox Theater. They allow multiple pets any size with $25.00 per pet.
Another Midtown hotel is the Artmore.
It is a lovely hotel that allows two dogs any size at $50.00 per visit.
The Grand Hyatt in Buckhead 
A Luxurious hHotel located in Buckhead. They allow 2 cats or dogs at $100.00 per pet.
One of my favorite hotels is The Loews Hotels. 
They have a VIP program, Very Importannt Pet. Upon arrival your pet receives a name tag, a bowl and a bag of treats. I actually stayed in one in Nashville. It was unbelievably nice. The room the view the people, I totally recommend it!
