Hello friends.
We got to park right in front of Ron's flying car. In this picture you can kind of make out Harry's trunk and owl cage. So fun!
A few weeks ago, hubby and I set off on one of our nothing really planned vacations. We had so much fun doing it last year touring around Tennessee and Kentucky. This year we tackled Georgia. We knew we wanted to do the top of the state and Savannah plus find at least one lobster roll (we did), but that was the extent of our plans.
Our route took us through the top of Alabama. On our way, we stopped in Birmingham, Alabama for breakfast. I quickly googled best breakfast and found the Ruby Slipper/Ruby Sunshine Restaurant. This was my coffee and my ticket to Elizabeth's T-day Linky party.
I ordered the Trifecta so I could try several of their eggs benedict.
The shrimp one was my favorite. Hubby had biscuits and gravy. I loved mine, but he wasn't impressed.
Right next to our table was this fun sign/sculpture.
Not sure if they have a Dorothy love or they just are being cool, but I love the fun logos and name. It was a fun way to start the vacation. Right before we left, I looked up great places to stay in the top left corner of Georgia and I found one of the Harry Potter themed houses. I actually saw it was available on Sunday night which is right when we were going to be there. I tried to book one of her Harry Potter themed housed years ago, but it was booked up for over a year so I gave up. When I saw its availability, I felt it was fate and I booked it. Next week I will share pictures (I have to run to work and will be back to visit everyone tonight), but here is a sneak peek:

Good morning, what a very fun vacation-especially not being totally planned out-love that. Your breakfast looks delicious,

I love the name of the restaurant and the logo. Sounds like a fun, spontaneous vacation. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteLovely restaurant, but the Harry Potter house would be my destination, I'm looking forward to seeing the pics! Hve a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI would love to plan a vacation without any PLANS! Your photos are really fun.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Mr. M. and I used to be spontaneous and just go go go. Those days are over so it is nice to see that you still do. Have a very nice day today.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun trip. I can’t wait to see the Harry Potter house. And hear about your lobster roll too. I’m having a hankering for one and I haven’t been to pops for awhile. The last time we tried to go the line was excessively long but your breakfast looks yummy and like something I would try. Hope your T day is going well. Hugs Erika
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun vacation when you are spontaneous. I haven't done a trip like that because we have children but it sounds like something for when we are empty nesters. I can't wait to see your Harry Potter themed house, it sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tea Day,
Kate
Cool idea to just take off! And oh, you make me hungry and I love that shoe.
ReplyDeletePlease don´t get mad. I never read/saw Harry Potter (reckon you know that already).
But I look forward to the pics anyways! Hugz and happy T-Day!
I'm like Iris and never read a HP book or saw a HP film. However, I am thrilled you got to stay at a HP themed house.
ReplyDeleteRuby Slipper/Ruby Sunshine sounds great. Not the kind of slippers Dorothy wore, but I love both the concept and the sculpture. I'm a big fan of hollandaise sauce, so I think I would get the Trifecta, too. Looks like you drink your coffee almost as white as I drink mine.
Thanks for sharing your trip to northwest GA at Ruby Slipper, and your sneak peek at the GA HP house where you stayed for T this Tuesday, dear Nancy.
You have found some great finds! It sounds like a great way to do a vacation. I look forward to more Harry Potter. We're fans :)
ReplyDeleteThat's our way to travel whenever possible, without completely planned out. I would have gone for the Trifecta as well - and now, of course, I'm hungry. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful relaxing time.
ReplyDeletethat breakfast sounds wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great way to go on vacation. That Trifecta looks delish. Looking forward to seeing the Harry Potter place.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply. As per usual I don't have time on Tuesday.
A belated happy T-Day,
Lisca
In our "younger" days, Jim would always want to just hop in the car and go with no planning! Me, Not so much! After a few mishaps doing it his way... We found it it's much better to plan...smile. (Even those don't always work) I liked your shared pictures. Your blog is always so interesting! Hope you having a great summer (and keeping cool!
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks amazing! What a great place to go for breakfast! Looking forward to seeing the Harry Potter House! Belated Happy T Day, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteGreat that you got a room right next to Ron's flying car. I think the worst Harry Potter hype is just over, it's easier to book there now. Your largely unplanned journey form sounds great and your Trifecta looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Austria and belated happy T,
Traude
