Hello from Hotlanta!
We finally rolled into Georgia last night at around 10:30pm. That was a heck of a drive, all the way from Ohio. I’ve come to find that I still don’t care for Kentucky, no matter how nice the people are, and that Tennessee traffic is horrendous at rush hour. We waded through a 20 minute traffic jam that seemed like forever.
Here are the numbers from the trip:
We stopped 3 times to have a bite to eat
We gassed up once before leaving & once on the way (1 & 1/2 tank trip…not too shabby)
We saw a ton of cops
3 or 4 people pulled over (not us, yay)
1 accident (the guy driving was okay, his car, not so much)
1 traffic delay
1 Chick-fil-a (Cleveland needs one of these, it’s rockin’)
We drove through 2 states to get to Georgia (Kentucky & Tennessee)
700 miles
1 picture (we’re going to take more for your viewing pleasure shortly)
0 cups of coffee for me
5th floor hotel room (did I mention I’m afraid of heights?)
Be back later on, they’re serving breakfast downstairs….
I’m glad you guys made it with no trouble. I bet it’s nice and humid down there; how do you like it?
Atlanta is like a jungle. What can I say? We were just made for heat.
Donovan,
I’m not quite used to the humidity, but I imagine it grows on ya…
Thanks, it took a little longer than we’d planned, but everything is going well…. I’m still somewhat sleepy, but it’s all good
Tricia,
Yes indeed, it’s wicked hot here….it takes a minute to get used to…
Have fun in Atlanta! I grew up just north of Atlanta in Marietta. Woo-hoo! Crazy traffic, though. Blah.
Melissa,
The traffic really isn’t so bad here…it was way worse in Tennessee…the people here are pretty friendly, too…
I hope you made plans to go to the Georgia Aquarium. It’s great.
Glad you made it safely!
I must agree with the Chick-Fil-A statement. We just got them here in St. Louis about 10 years ago, and now I couldn’t live without them.
sounds like you’re having fun.
i wish the traffic here in LA was only 20 minutes. an actual 20 minute drive usually takes an hour and a half in rush hour!
MsDanielle,
The traffic and the rain in Atlanta were horrendous! I’m glad to be home now!
Chick-Fil-A is so good! Just stock up before Sunday.
And be glad for the rain because it made the temperatures livable. We haven’t had rain in a while so the temperatures went back up
I love Chick-Fil-A. They are the best. I’m sorry to hear that it’s really hot, but they don’t call it Hotlanta for nothing.
