Atlanta Trip
Saturday, April 10th, 2004We left after work on Thursday heading to Atlanta. We made good time up until we got on the east side of Birmingham. Road construction for nine miles delayed us for about an hour. We arrived in Atlanta at about 2am.
Friday morning, Brad and I went to the airport to pick up Josh. We could not have timed it much better. Delayne, Jarrell, and Mr. Roy arrived at about 5pm. That afternoon, we went shopping at Michael's and Best Buy. We all went to eat at Red Lobster after shopping.
Saturday morning, we went shopping in the same area. We went to the Dollar Tree (not impressed) and Old Navy (not impressed). Then we got hungry and went to eat at George's in Virginia Highlands. It was quite yummy.
We then made our way back to Brad's. After a short rest, we headed to the Braves game. The game started off well. The Braves scored in the first inning. Things started looking bad in the 5th. The Cubs tied it up, and took the lead 2-1 in the 6th. But things turned around in the 8th after 13 pitches, the oldest player on the Braves almost hit a grand slam. It turned out to be a base-clearing double. Gave the Braves a 5-2 win. Overall, a very good game.
After the game we headed back to Brad's for pizza.
