Priscilla the Pig and a Bit of Santa Claus

{Alternate title: Tour Georgia Series – The Pink Pig at Lenox Mall}

I know, I know, I need to do a better job on this blog thing, but what can I say…my heart {and mind} are so very full of love for this sweet little guy we haven’t met and my hands are so very full with the sweet little one I already have, as well as the Christmas tree farm. 

A few weeks ago {okay, it was almost a month ago!} we went down to Lenox Mall to ride the Pink Pig.  It started in 1953 and even though my mom grew up here in the area she never got to ride it…and she tells us that every time we bring the Pink Pig up.  Poor thing, such a hard childhood.  I rode it several times myself, both on top of the old Rich’s building and when it was at the Festival of Trees.  A few years ago they moved it to its final home outside of Macy’s {Macy’s bought out Rich’s} and I had been wanting to take MM.

But I didn’t want to wait the 4+ hour line on a holiday weekend so we decided to go on a random Wednesday at lunch.

We were the only ones there.

Every thing is BRIGHT!PINK! and has this kitschy 1950s vibe.  The only thing missing was the old train {The Pink Pig is a train…did I forget to mention that?} that you barely could get in and out of…part of its charm.  Now they have a generic train you could find at any shopping mall.

I know this photo has a strange tint to it. It was SO PINK that when I tried to edit it this is what I got. Oh well.

MM of course got souvenirs–a Priscilla, her little brother {Percy?}, an ornament, AND a sweatshirt.  Lord, my mom is going to buy her every souvenir she can find! HA 

And then afterwards we went inside and met Santa for the first time this season.  She told him she wanted a dollhouse as big as her.

He double checked his list and said he had that one down.
