Atlanta, el segundo parte

These pictures aren't in order, but that really doesn't matter. We went to the Atlanta History Museum. It was like a living history place. Here I am churning butter. Churn baby churn. Too bad I didn't know that there wasn't any cream inside. Bummer!

Jorge (the opportunist) found a Georgia Peach tree and it happened to have some small peaches nearby that had fallen from the branches. He snuck in the garden and grabbed those peaches up! I love you my peachy little robber! You're always thinking of great deals!!

Step away from the HAM!!

I'll say this, "it ain't no Serta!

Right outside of Atlanta there is a small park called Stone Mountain. This is a granite mountain carved with the "heros" of the South on it. It's really gigantic! We saw a 3D interactive show, heard a story like they used to tell in the south, rode a train, saw the top of stone mountain, and saw a wonderful lazer show.

Chavela wasn't sure about the gondala ride to the top of the mountain.

These hands are folded and being very patient! Notice the rain drops on my shirt. After the stone mountain photo opp., a huge thunderstorm came and we were trapped. Sheets of rain and thunder and lighting sounded and made their presence known. I wasn't scared, but there were some wierdos that were crying and acting like clowns. We were safe and fine.

Two hours later we were cleared to come back down from the mountain. The sky still looked just awful! But we made it down fine. We had a pinic supper right out of the trunk of the car and watched the most awesome lazer light show ever. You should really see it!!

No, you've gotta kiss the frog!

This the botanical garden in Atlanta. I have no idea why we went. It was really pretty and green, although the whole area is in a drought. Felt pretty humid and hot to us!


Then we took a 3 hour drive to Savannah! Wow!! We were going to go the The Lady and Sons (Paula Deen's restaurant) but after reading many computer reviews and talking to several locals, we decided to go to Mrs. Wilkes boarding house for lunch. We heard it was much better! The wait for lunch was long and hot. You would go inside 10 at a time and sit a large table with people you didn't know. The food was alread on the table before we sat down. We sat with some people from Alabama. There were 23 bowls of food on our table!! It was great. I loved all of that home cookin'. After we finished dessert, we had to take our plates to the window in true "boarding house" style. It was neat. No frills just good stuff.


Here's what my peeps thought about the whole experience.

We made it to the Atlantic Ocean!! I had never seen it!! Well, it looks like the ocean. We had a great time. .. . no sunburns and we ate some great seafood.

Oh, this is the spot that Forrest Gump sat on the bench eating chocolates. There's no bench there but that's where it went down. Also there is a church with a tower just down from there where they dropped the white feather that flew all around at the beginning and end of the movie. We had a blast!!
