Hello world!
For a long time, hearing Atlanta always made me think of Atlantis, which made me wonder why people were talking about it like it's a real place. When I didn't think of Atlantis, though, I ended up confusing Atlanta with Seattle. (Still do, a little.) Just a silly fun fact.
My family decided to cram in mini vacations before school starts. Since we had already gone to Gulf Shores, I was just rolling my eyes at this point. Hearing we were going to Atlanta for the weekend didn't sound HORRIBLE, but I did not want to go. Not only was I annoyed that my parents aren't letting me laze around, I just had the feeling I wouldn't be enjoying my stay.
Boy, was I ever more correct.
After arriving to the inn we were staying at and dropping off the suitcase there, we went straight to the Georgia Aquarium. We ended up stuck in traffic for an excruciating amount of time. We eventually gave up and went to the direction of an Ethiopian restaurant my dad wanted to check out. (We used to live near one in Utah, and there are none in Birmingham. He found out there were a ton of African restaurants in Atlanta, so it was one of the reasons why he wanted to visit.) The food was good, but not as good as the one we were used to. My dad said it was because there was too much anise.
The next day, we checked out of the inn and ate in Burger King for breakfast, then we tried again to go to the aquarium. The amount of people outside of the doors was insane. It was a sea of people! Instead of water, there was people! (Yeah, my sister laughed when I said that to her.) My dad talked with one of the workers and learned we probably wouldn't get in for at least an hour and a half, that last half being spent standing around in a line out in the sun. So we noped away to another location.
We checked out the line in the Coca-Cola museum (I don't even remember what Coca-Cola tastes like, since I haven't had it for yeeears), and then got tickets for the nope train. *train whistle that sounds like "nope noooooooope"*
We walked to the CNN Center and checked out the inside. There were some cool T-shirts in the stores, but they all cost at least $20. We could have gone on a tour, but I wasn't particularly interested in that, so we just left. ...After my family took a picture of me with Lady Rainicorn in front of the Cartoon Network store. I was not gonna leave until I had that!
That is pretty much when we gave up and drove back home.
Best experience of my life! *totally sarcastic*
