The Marietta Pilgrimage
We went to the yearly Marietta Pilgrimage on Sunday. We both really like old historic buildings and houses, and Historic Marietta is a great place to see both. Although it was really cold outside, we had a great time.

The first house we saw was the Hardage-Smith House (c. 1890) on Polk Street
This house had been updated by a young couple from 2006-2008, and they did a great job.

Second, we saw the The Wellons-Brackman-Gronewald House (c. 1946) on McCord
The owner of this house was a designer, and she had put her 'personal' touch on everything. It was OK.

Finally, we saw Oakmont (c. 1875) on Oakmont Drive
This house has a really interesting history - Kennesaw Hall was on the property, where Charles J. MacDonald (GA Governor from 1839-1843) lived until Sherman burnt it down in 1864. Oakmont was built eleven years later on the same site by MacDonald. The current owners have spent the last few years extensively updating the house, and have done an incredible job. It was a real pleasure to see this house.

Adam & Ashley's Wedding
This weekend, my longtime friend and Fraternity brother Adam married his longtime girlfriend Ashley. It was great to see old friends - it seems that not much has changed when we all get together.

Fall
I sent these pictures to Jay when he went out of town recently to remind him of home. We love fall and the cool weather!

Happy Birthday to Jay
Jay's birthday was September 7th. It was pretty low key this year, but at least we were able to spend the day together. We walked the dogs, worked on the yard a little and chilled out watching a movie. We went out to Brookwood Grill, which is his birthday tradition (huge steak and potatoes)! Happy birthday, Jay.
