Calling ourselves The "Real" Real Housewives of Atlanta" we ended up after 2 days and I don't know how many Miles....Rose re-named us... "The Hot Mess Express"..... I think it had something to do with the green feather Boa's and the little green hats... Hey....it was St. Patrick's Day! Here we are at our first stop of the Day.... Mary's Fall Cottage in Greenville S.C. We decided to stop in Greenville for lunch so we could finally all get to the infamous Christmas Tree Shoppe Because every Blogger has either been or has h...
