Downtown Atlanta

After we checked into our hotel and relaxed for a little bit we decided to go explore downtown Atlanta. So we got in the car and just drove up the street and discovered that there was ALOT of cool stuff about 5 minutes up the road from our hotel.
Our first stop was the CNN Studios! I was really excited! It was just kinda cool to visit. I actually watch the news quite a bit, and I was hoping I would see Nancy Grace... I love her! She is so blunt! They had a tour that you could take but the line was seriously like 2 hours long and we just didn't have the time or patience to stand in the line.
There is this relly great park called Olympic Park. I am not sure how many people remember but the summer olympics were held in Atlanta I think in 1998 (around there) so there are SO MANY olympic landmarks in Atlanta. These fountains are in the shape in the olympic rings. Kinda cool huh?
We also went to Coca-Cola World. That was ok... we just looked around in their gift shop because the line to get in was outrageous!Plus we both have been to coca cola world in Vegas so it was no big deal.
Lastly we went to Turner field to watch the Seattle Mariners play the Braves. The Mariners are Brandons favorite team and the odds of us going to Seattle to see a game is slim. He was so excited to see his team play and I am glad we went. :)
