We got into Atlanta at about 4 o'clock and made our way to my Best Friends place. Christina and her husband Steve helped us really experience Atlanta. We went to 6 Feet Under for dinner, where everything was fried and injected with butter and absolutely delicious!! We then ventured our way to the Chocolate Bar where we enjoyed a tasty sample of five different cheesecakes and a slice of red velvet cake (soooo yummy!!) After our little slice of heaven, we made our way to BrickStore where they claim to serve the worlds finest cider from the worlds finest apples.... ( a claim of pure puffery to say the least!) While we were at BrickStore we were able to meet up with one of Joshs old roommates (John) from Clemson. It was a blast being able to catch up with old friends all night long.
Saturday morning, after a very unique mass, we fed our hungry little tummies at the Flying Biscuit where Josh fell in love with Southern Style Grits!! He fell in love with them so much, that we ended up buying some to make for the duration of Road Trip!!
Well it was now day two of road trip, and if any of you have traveled at all before you know it is inevitable to run into some type vehicle trouble.... our trouble this trip seems to be our second battery (that provides power to all of our accessories) keeps getting drained somehow. So, we spent some time finding a Batteries Plus to replace our second battery... Things seemed to be going smoothly (to smoothly) While installing the new second battery, Josh CRUSHED his finger :( Hopefully his fingernail doesn't fall off....
After the battery debacle, we thought it would be the perfect time to go visit the SweetWater Brewery... we thought it was very fitting that our first beer from the brewery be their Road Trip Pilsener... !! After a few enjoyable beverages, we headed to the world-renowned VORTEX for some juicy hamburgers. Some you may recognize this restaurant from Man vs. Food. We ate ourself into a three/four hour food coma.
Once we awoke from our food coma's we headed to Ormsbys, where we met up with some of Christina and Steve's friends. It was here that I learned that I am the master of Apples & Apples!! After several rounds of Apples & Apples we un-knowingly entered into the worlds longest lasting competition of Jenga - made more interesting with a shot of house tequila put on the table for whoever was first to knock it down!
Sunday morning we said our goodbyes to Steve, Christina, Mia, and Mochie and headed to Mississippi. On our way to Mississippi we passed by Talladega SpeedWay.
