Spring Break

COCA COLA MUSEUM

To start Spring Break we purchased a 'City Pass' that would let us explore some of the tourist attractions in Atlanta. We started out at the Coke Museum and our favorite part was the coke tasting at the end! 

CNN TOUR

We also took a tour of the CNN museum and since the Final Four is here this year we were part of a live broadcast with the Final Four brackets (well sort of as we were just in front of the broadcast). 

Excited for the start of baseball season after March Madness. Adam will always be a White Sox fan but I'm sure we will make it to some Braves games. 

ZOO ATLANTA

I think this is the only animal that was hiding that day we went to the Zoo. We were so impressed with the closeness of all the animals and how many times they were fed a day which assured that we would get to see them all up close and personal. We had some camera disfunction which led to some lost photos but here are the ones we recovered.  

A fantastic bird show!

ATLANTA AQUARIUM

Loved the Aquarium! So many unique fish, jelly fish, eels, sting rays....Adam even touched sea urchin and sting ray. If you know how much Adam does not like fish we know that this was a big step for him, anything for love! 

They even had a whale shark!

FERNBANK MUSEUM

We have been making good use of the Scout Mob app and using all of the discounts for eating out it has. Our visit to the Fernbank Museum allowed us to show our inner TREX. A WONDERFUL Spring Break!!

New Things in Atlanta

We took Jorge to experience his first Chicago Pizza. There is a decent place right down the street from us and I think it was a hit! Jorge and Adam are helping each other get through one of the aerospace classes. Ironically he is from a town in Spain right down the street from where I studied in college. My Spanish is rusty though to say the least! 

I had some time before starting work so I decided (with the help of a groupon) to organize and digitalize all of my photos (4x6 at least). It took days and as you can see overtook much of the apartment! There were over 2,000 when all was completed. 

Here they are all organized and ready to go.....now just waiting for them to come back. I am a bit nervous that USPS will loose them but I guess that is why we have package tracking. 

We visited the Varsity for the first time. The onion rings were pretty delicious but the food is so greasy it put me to sleep as soon as we got home! We pass by it walking to GA tech so it was at least worth a try:-)

 The Atlanta History Center has free weekends through the end of June. They had some interesting exhibits and great short hiking trails. There was a reenactment of civil war times going on I wasn't a big fan of the guns but it was an impressive setup. 

 The Swan House was a gorgeous establishment from the 1920's. We couldn't take pictures of the inside but the outside had impressive grounds. 

Of course there was an Asian themed garden! We thought is appropriate for me to get a photo with the elephant. 

 The Atlanta Preservation Society had a free week of all the Historic 'hotspots' in Atlanta. We took advantage of the one at the Margeret Mitchell house and this is us in front of the door used in the Gone with the Wind movie. We biked there in the rain!
