That just brought back a flash of memories!  WOW! <\/p>\n<p>By the time you read this, we should be home from our Atlanta Spring Break adventure.  We had a wonderful time with my Mom, sister and her family.  In case you missed it, here are some of the things that we did this past week.<\/p>\n<p>We ate at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/?p=2562\">Moe&#8217;s<\/a> &#8211; not once, but twice.  Oh, and Jon got take-out for the trip home.  So, we went from not eating out but once a month to eating 7-10 meals out in the past week.  I am so excited to get back to menu planning &amp; making my own meals!  While we had many amazing gluten-free meals out, I do miss my &#8220;normal&#8221; food. <\/p>\n<p>I ran the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/?p=2555\">ING Half Marathon <\/a> and helped the Baby Steps team raise awareness and close to $1,000 for mirco-preemies.  It was so cool to run a race in a city that I was not familiar with. <\/p>\n<p>The 3 girls (my Mom, sister &amp; I) had an amazing meal at <a href=\"http:\/\/celiac-disease.com\/gluten-free-dining-paradise-in-buford-georgia\/\">Aqua Terra Bistro<\/a>.  This is one place that I go back year after year when we come to Atlanta.  The food is out of this world!<\/p>\n<p>I shared a new recipe on Celiac-Disease.com for <a href=\"http:\/\/celiac-disease.com\/recipe-gluten-free-tuna-salad-rolls\/\">Tuna Salad Spring Rolls<\/a>.  These were so good!! <\/p>\n<p>I reviewed <a href=\"http:\/\/celiac-disease.com\/product-review-clif-c-fruit-nut-bars\/\">Clif C Fruit &amp; Nut Bars<\/a>.  They are very good and great to keep in your purse or backpack. <\/p>\n<p>I had 5 different people write guest posts while I was gone &#8211; THANK YOU GUYS!!
