Atlanta

We left the next morning early so we could get to Atlanta early enough to enjoy the day.  When we got there, I guess I was a bit tired and hungry, maybe hangry, because as I was trying to find my way around Rachel started to take control of the situation, which I was totally fine with and really needed, and then turned control back over to me after I had passed by the parking lot I had my eye on so I would have to look up a new location and drive in the city.  After several times I got really upset and we had a short argument in the car in front of her folks.  I just wanted to park and eat but still, not my proudest moment.

We did eventually find somewhere to park and then ate at this near brew-house where the taps at right at the table, very cool.  We did not care for the beer at our table but it was still neat.  After we ate I said we have to go to the Aquarium.  I knew they would love it and they all did!  I was surprised that the penguin exhibit was the highlight for Rachel and Cathy but it was very cool.  I won't spoil the surprise but if you even find yourself in Atlanta with a few hours to kill, that should be your first choice.  I have not don'e everything but of the highlights I have done, this is the coolest thing they have.  Where I close to the city for a few day I might even buy an annual pass so I could go several times.

We ate dinner at a different brew-house and Kim and I ordered a beer flight.  I really enjoyed it but when did it become a sign of sophistication to go heavy on the hops in almost every beer you sell?  At this point my nose was pretty stuffed so perhaps that skewed my pallet but there seemed to be a lot of high IBU beers in the flight.  I would have been happy if ordered a pint two of them but it was nice to try some different beers than I normally would drink too.  The food at that place was awesome.  Kim and I got the fried chicken while Rachel and Cathy got a few apps and one plate to split.
