Hello sportsfans,
We posted a wonderful account of our trip thus far two days ago but it is apparently lost in cyberspace so here we go again. The flight to Miami was uneventful, no terrorists, vomiting children or otherwise. Angela did lip off to the TSA a bit but nothing they couldn't handle with intimidating stares. We spent a wild night in Miami, but again no shootings and everything went as planned. On the 15th we flew into Atlanta right behind an ice storm. We lucked out once again because the storm didn't do too much damage and the airport had delays before us but we were right on time. Angela's mom picked us up and took us straight to the brand new Georgia Aquarium. There are guards positioned at the entrance to the aquarium so we were searched once again, in the cold rain, before we were allowed in. Luckily Angela did not take on the guards this time so all was well. We were there two hours and saw an incredible amount of fish in massive aquariums, well lit and easy to see. The highlight of course was the Whale Shark exhibit where rays passed by in huge schools and the Whale Sharks trolled along like Greyhound Buses. We finished up the day at Touch of India, the best indian restaurant in Atlanta. It's so famous the owner has a picture of him and the band members from Great White and the Bullet Boys up on the wall. Wow.
The next day we visited Angela's dad and drank our weight in sweet tea. We ate at the Hickory House, which is some good southern cooking. Hickory smoke boiled off a massive bbq in the back and there was a cop at the counter complete with pointy silver star on his shirt so you know it's gonna be good. Of course none of this could compare to Angela's grandma who cooked an epic feast that night of green beans, sweet potatoes, fried okra, dressing and again gallons of sweet tea and a farmload of turkeys. We all had to roll ourselves home after opening a few early Christmas presents.
It was a nice visit, but too short, so we'll be back before long.
