American Idols Live! Concert & Atlanta getaway

August 3-4, 2006

 

Julie is a huge Taylor Hicks fan, so we took a couple of days and ran down to Atlanta GA to see the American Idols Live! concert at Gwinnett Stadium!

The next day we went to downtown Atlanta, saw the World of Coke and the Underground shops. Also drove through an area that was obviously on the wrong side of the tracks - like you see in those movies when they meet in the dark under a parking structure. How thrilling! Yeah.

We also said hello to Pedro at South of the Border. There is a 100 foot sign on one building that says "Coffeehouse" but inside was only one pot of day-old coffee. My wife was not happy with that. Bad Pedro!!
