Parks Place: Hotlanta

For our girls weekend Julie, Briana, and I all met up in Atlanta. The girls each flew from their cities and I drove in so we could have a car. Briana's flight got in first...and let me tell you...picking up someone from the ATL airport is no joke! I joked with Briana when she finally got in the car that if we were at the Columbia airport I would have parked, sat and waited for her in a sweet little rocking chair while she came out the one and only possible exit, got her bags and paid about $3.00 for my parking spot. Easy-peasy. In Atlanta you get yelled at by policemen for sitting in one spot on the curb for too long and have to continue circling around until your friend arrives. That is until we discovered the cell phone lot when we went back to the airport later that night to pick up Julie.
The main reason for out get together was just to hang out since we hadn't been together in two years. We didn't really do a whole lot other than chat and catch up. Friday morning we went to the Coca-Cola museum which is something I've been wanting to do for a very long time!

The official torch of the 1996 Olympic Games

The ~~best~~ most interesting part of the museum was the tasting room where you could taste Coke products from around the world. Each continent had it's own drink station where you could taste several different flavors. Most of the flavors where very sweet fruity drinks that you could never drink for real.

But there was one flavor...

just save your taste buds and skip the Beverly from Italy. It was so bitter and disgusting that I had to quickly find the traditional Coke fountain and wash that nasty taste down!

At the very end of the tour you got to pick up a free glass bottle of Coke that was bottled right there in the factory!

Saturday we spend most of our day at the Mall of Georgia shopping and then on to the Bella Vita salon. Josh's aunt owns this super cute salon so we made appointments to get some fancy high school style manicures.
