Hey y'all! Today has been a pretty great day! We got a clean bill of health for the car in the morning and then had a delicious breakfast at the Silver Diner. Driving around Woodbridge, VA is really strange because they seem to literally have every chain of restaurant you could ever imagine. Before we left, Tommy and I decided that we would try not to eat at chains, if possible, unless it was something we had never tried before. Our very first night, however, we ended up at Fuddrucker's because Charlie had never been there, so it still counts. We left Woodbridge at about noon and drove pretty hard today to get to Atlanta (or the ATL, as the kids call it). All I can really say about the drive is that I-85 in Virginia is beautiful, the rest stops in North Carolina are like parks that are good for stretching the legs, there are Cracker Barrels EVERYWHERE, and JR Outlet looks like the greatest place in history. JR Outlet is a store that we saw at least 100 billboards for in a 5 mile radius advertising everything from cigarettes to porcelain dolls.
We finally arrived in Atlanta around 10:00 this evening and went right to the pool. I cannot properly describe how nice this pool was. All I can really say is that it was on the roof of our swanky hotel overlooking the city and it was a beautiful night outside. Tomorrow morning we are off to the Georgia Aquarium to see whale sharks! After that, we are heading to New Orleans.
I will be posting some pictures soon, probably tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Hi Alicia,
ReplyDeleteSounds like the trip is smoothing out after you had the gas cap straightened out. Needless to say you aren't missing a thing here. I DO miss you and your humor. I agree with the posting warning you about southern states...super conservative folks down there. If you start to feel uncomfortable, stop at Walmart, get a gun rack and a bb gun (no one will know it's not a serious gun) and display it proudly in your rear windshield....you'll be all set!
