Atlanta Travel Blogs

My friends were so great to let me stay with them while I sorted through the visa paperwork issues!!  But I was gald and they were too to see me get on the train leaving!! hehe  The train was 30 minutes late leaving and we must have followed a freight train a good bit of the way because w…

The Georgia Aquarium opened it's doors on November 23, 2005 as an absolutely magnificent gift to the residents of the State of Georgia by Bernie and Billi Marcus and The Marcus Foundation (Bernie is co-founder of The Home Depot).   As a gesture of his appreciation to the citizens of Atlan…

I had been planning this little getaway for a few weeks and then I read the news today, oh boy! Tropical Storm Ana was heading towards the island.  Well, Ana fizzled out.  But then came hurricane Bill.   I decided to postpone the trip until the following week.   I kep…

Last week's trip down to the great state of Georgia was a very welcomed and relaxing escape from all the everyday activites that have been swirling around my head for the past few months.  Having been back a week, I can say with a bit of regret that none of those issues had taken the liberty t…

As I am a little slow at times with writing stuff I thought I can at least upload the pictures... :-)

Alright, hopefully the content on this blog is about to get ALOT more interesting... I leave this morning!!  I've got to go run a few errands, then checkout of my dorm, then hop on a plane to Houston, then hop on a plane to (what?!) AREGNTINA!!  To anyone who might be reading this, please…

Not really travel just after Ranger School in 2006 I took a friend and her Brother to shoot my M4 since they had never done it before.

This should be short because we got off the plane from Greenville and went straight to the Sky club and tried to drink as much as possible in the 45 min we had before it closed.  If that wasn't enough after the Sky club closed we went to the little restaurant and finished it off with 2 Long Is…

Ok first and foremost before I even tell you about our day there I just want to say there is such a thing as southern hospitality!  We arrived in Atlanta at about 3:30 in the afternoon the first thing I asked my husband was to drive to the state capitol building so that I could get a picture.&…

Upon landing in Atlanta I was all smiles and I am sure those around me were wondering what was wrong with me.  I mean I saw girls, civilian clothes, real cars, cell phones, no weapons, and it was not 100 outside.  It was pretty cool to be home, finally.  Now it was time to get starte…

At Fogo De Chaos

          My theory on Floridians:  they can do anything in flip-flops!  Just to prove this point, I walked up Stone Mountain in a $2.00 pair of crappy rubber Wal-Mart flip-flops.  What a morning!  We woke up later than expected becau…

Haha as I re-read over the journal entry, I laugh over how hard I tried to write as if I was a film connosier... oh well. I had the fun of a novice, of a care-free kid discovering a new world... ATLFF 365 - Atlanta Film Festival 365 Conversations with moviemakers at Starbucks - 4-6pm. "The Evenin…

I drove to Atlanta to visit my sister and it snowed!  1-2" of snow in Atlanta!  This only happens about once every 5 years.  People in the city were near panic - do we close schools and businesses?  How do we drive in snow?  Being from the Midwest, I find this amusing. …

What do you do with a little downtime? Take a weekend in Atlanta. The Georgian Acquarium was the attraction and it fully lived up to it's billing. The big tank is 8 million gallons and highlights three 50 ft whale sharks and many other fish. We walked olympic centenial park and got wet in the fount…
