Atlanta & J'ville

This weekend Shane and I took a quick trip to Atlanta, Georgia and Jacksonville, Alabama.  Friday night we flew into ATL and spent the night.  Saturday morning we headed over to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca Cola.  I love aquariums.  There's something about fish that are so relaxing, even if they are big fish or sharks.  We really enjoyed taking the time to walk around and look at everything.  It is the largest aquarium in the world so we saw plenty of fish.

We grabbed a bite at this cafe outside in the gorgeous Georgia weather and then walked over to the World of Coca Cola.  It was a self guided tour where you could see how Coke originated, how it's made and all of the marketing and promotions over the years.  Then you go into the tasting room where you can try 65 different varieties of Coke products from all over the world (some were pretty nasty) and make your own concoction of Coke (170 different variations).

After we left there, we made the 2 hour drive to Jacksonville to see Kelsey.  Saturday night we took her to dinner and watched the Rangers win the ALCS.  Sunday we went to the Jacksonville State vs Murray State soccer game to see Kelsey and Erin play each other.  It was a really good game that went into two overtimes and ended in a 0-0 tie.  The weather was pretty nice but alittle hot.  Shane and I both got some sun and I got some looks at the airport because of my sunglasses tan.  After the game was over we had to hightail it back to Atlanta to catch our flight.

We felt like we were barely gone but we really enjoyed getting away for a couple of days and seeing the girls.
