Lunch with the Governor

Today Brian and I got to go to Atlanta and have lunch with the Governor, Nathan Deal, and his wife at the Governor's mansion.

We headed down to Atlanta with a group from United Way of Hall County and I was SO excited to see the inside of this house! I actually was more excited to see what they were going to feed us. 

This place is HUGE and has so much history.

We had a delicious lunch in the basement of the mansion and had the privilege of hearing what Governor Deal had to say about leadership and current topics impacting Georgia and the nation.  He is very intelligent and a great speaker! When the governor had to go back to work, we got a private tour of the WHOLE house by the first lady herself! It was a rare occasion because we got to see their living quarters.

First I want to show you some of the rugs....they were amazing and I would of gladly taken any of them for my home!!!!

I wouldn't mind walking down these halls everyday  I made sure to ask Brian if he was interested in being in politics....I'm sure you can image what he said....I won't have halls like this.....


Okay, now we're getting personal......this is actually where Nathan Deal sleeps!

I'm sure these people thought I was

It was great!

I did get some cool ideas for things in our house later on too.

Oh and I'm sure you saw how terrible that Auburn/Clemson game was for us Auburn fans this past weekend....but we did get to hangout with the HUGHS cousins while we were there!
