SPRING BREAK
I am in Atlanta GA for Sping break. I will inform you of all the adventures every day until I return on Wednesday night.
Welcome to part 1 of the Spring Break Chronicles...
SUNDAY
Our trip to GA got off to a bad start an hour into the journey when Chris recommend I try Krystal hamburgers. Initially I was amused at the slow fast-food service received. 3 customers in the whole place and we each got given a number and had to wait 10 minutes for the food. Then, even more comically, the server asked me to sign and enter my pin and seemed confused when not both were necessary. Things took a sinister turn however when I ate one of the mini steamed burgers. I was no longer laughing. In fact I felt somewhat sick. So sick that I genuinely never want another hamburger again. They were vile.
The journey got a little better as I napped for an hour and a half, drifting off to sleep with the strains of Over the Rhine. Bliss. Then I awoke and was thrilled to see us cross a beautiful lake and so excited when we drove over the state line. It was a buzz for me to be in Georgia and the country side was magnificent. Then Chris played DJ on my ipod and we had some fun.
Then we stopped at a gas station and I went to use the toilet. It should have been a simple, non-threatening task. But this experience made Krystal seem like paradise. Ladies and gentlemen, I did not use the toilet at the gas station as there was a dead mouse curled up on the floor.
Finally we arrived in Atlanta, or Hotlanta as the locals would say. The city seems nice and it was great to meet Chris' family. We are staying at his mum's house and all is well and relaxing.
We also have a great treat in store. As Nancy has no coffee in her home, we are going to run out for Starbucks every morning that we are here. What a treat! Well, it is our vacation after all
