Celebrate the Start of Summer Break

Whether graduating or simply finishing the end of a regular school year, rewarding a year of hard work is important! For teachers who are looking to relax once the grading and early mornings come to an end, enjoy a leisurely mid-morning stroll through downtown Alpharetta with a coffee from Warm Waves, treat yourself to a relaxing massage at Natural Body Spa, or savor a flight of select wines at Fermented Wine Boutique.

For students celebrating a moratorium on study sessions and extracurriculars, plan a fun outing to Cosmic Mini Golf and Play, Dave and Buster’s, or Fairway Social to enjoy games and excitement with friends and family.

There’s no better way to celebrate with loved ones than sharing a tasty meal. Gather with the entire family to share great eats and reminisce over memories of the past year at Lazy Dog, Minnie Olivia, or True Food Kitchen.

No matter what milestone you are celebrating this May, there’s no better treat than an exciting getaway!
