Hot-Lanta

So, Crystal and I decided to get away for a couple of days, since things are about to get REALLY, REALLY busy for us. We have Surge '08 (high school beach camp) in about 3 weeks, then Summit '08 (middle school camp) in about 4 weeks, REACH '08 (high school mission trip to Memphis) in July, plus we keep AMP'd rollin' on Wednesday nights!! Summer is wide open, but it is well worth it. Not only is all that coming up, but we are waiting to hear from DSS about our adoption. We have completed all of our "requirements", so we are just waiting for placement, which as far as we know could happen any time now!!! WOW! that is CRAZY!! Anyway, we decided to head to Atlanta for some much needed chill time. We got in late last night to the Marriott Marquis downtown. Sounds fancy don't it? Well, it is, but Priceline.com works miracles because we got the room for about half of what it would cost, which is nice, real nice. Today we got up and hit the town for a while and just walked around before we toured the Coca-Cola factory. It was sweet....literally!! I tried ALL the flavors, including BEVERLY, which if you have ever been to the factory, you know what I'm talking about, if not, then you should go check it out sometime. After that, we got rained on a little bit but forged on and hit the MARTA. Very interesting form of transportation to say the least. We checked out Underground Atlanta, and Lenox Square before heading back to the hotel to just chill. It's been a nice change of pace for sure and a much needed mini-vacation. Tomorrow holds more walking around and a trip to IKEA to check out some furniture. So, I better get some rest and get ready for some shopping!!
