Allow me to introduce you to
Priscilla,
the Pink Pig
Priscilla,
the Pink Pig
"Since 1953, Macy's Pink Pig has been delighting generations of Atlantans. Come ride Priscilla the Pink Pig on train tracks through a life-sized storybook featuring Priscilla and her friends. Tickets are available at the Macy's Pink Pig kiosk inside the East mall entrance at Lenox Square. A portion of the ride's proceeds will benefit Children's Healthcare of Atlanta."
When I tell you that The Pink Pig is a big deal in Atlanta,
I mean:
BIG FREAKIN' DEAL.
HUGE!

Josh and I have lived in Atlanta for 7 of our 8 years together and have walked past the 2 hour long lines filled with Atlanta's young and old to ride the 1.5 minute long train.
This was the year for us, we decided.
So on Thursday afternoon, while most schools were still in session, we made our way over to Macy's to meet Priscilla. Natalie was beside herself with excitement.
(we had NO line to wait in!)

Josh and I were pretty excited too.
During our ride we learned that the original pink ping was a tram,
hung from a rail with kiddos trapped inside the pig's belly
peering out of Chicken Wire:
We rode the track, a lopsided oval, 4 times.
We saw the sparkly trees and heard the story book style tale of Priscilla
and how she came to be, and loved every minute.
