Slumber Party and Princess Diana

We had an amazing sleep over on Friday February 26th where the girls did many different activities including making African Adinkra Cloth with stamps that the girls designed themselves. The cloth they stamped will be made into pants and a blouse.
On Saturday morning we took the girls to Atlanta for the Princess Diana exhibit at the Atlanta Civic Center and ate at Mary Mac's Tea Room after wards.
"The sewing club went to Mrs. Kincey's house. We fed the donkeys and goats. Then we went to the Princess Diana exhibit. Next we went to Mary Mac's Tea Room. They have really good food. I had mac and cheese, creamed corn, and ice sweet tea. It was served by Ms. Rita who was very nice." - T.L.
"On Saturday we went to the Princess Diana exhibit and saw her crown and pretty dresses. I had fun! We went to Mary Mac's Tea Room. I ate chicken strips, corn, mashed potatos, and a sprite that was served to me by our server Rita. I had a great time!" - L. N.
"On Saturday the sewing club went to the Princess Diana exhibit. We saw some of her toys, her ballet shoes, her wedding dress (it's train was 25 feet long!) and we saw some of her evening gowns. One fact I learned from the exhibit was that she was last seen in a black gown on her 36th birthday. After we left the exhibit we went to a restaurant called Mary Mac's. We had a great waitress, her name was Ms. Rita, she was great!" - S.H.
"On Saturday February 27, 2010, sewing club went to Atlanta, Georgia for the Princess Diana exhibit. It was really fun we got to see her wedding dress, it was 25 feet long. It was really pretty. We also got to see her report cards and her stuff from her childhood. After we came from the Diana exhibit we went to Mary Mac's Tea Room. We had a waitress who was very nice, her name was Rita. The food was great, I will always remember the food." - A. B.

Saturday February 27th sewing club went to Princess Diana exhibit it was very beautiful. We saw things like her childhood toys, gowns, and her wedding gown which was 25 feet long." - B.TR.
"At the Princess Diana exhibit on February 27, 2010 we saw her dresses, wedding gowns, report cards, videos, tiaras, and toys. It was a very great experience. Mary Mac's Tea Room was a very nice restaurant. Our waitress, Rita, served us well. They had very nice food. I wish I could go agian." - E.B.
