Atlanta trip

The Martin Luther King, Jr holiday weekend found the Parrish family in Atlanta, Georgia to have fun as tourists! We headed down I-85 on Saturday afternoon in the rain, and we found a great hole in the wall barbeque restaurant called One Star Barbeque. Mmmm....it was tasty.

On Sunday we rode the MARTA south to Peachtree Street then walked to the World of Coca Cola Museum to take a tour. It was really neat, plus we sampled beverages from all over the world!



Next, we toured the Georgia Aquarium, with a ton of other people....it began to rain again and so it was a great indoor activity. JR loved the sting ray pool (he especially loved tasting the water--blach!), and he loved watching the divers swim with sharks and fish in the huge glass tank.


Sunday night we joined friends Adam and Kent Brannon at the delicious Brazilian restaurant Fogo de Chao. Bottomless meat + great conversation=fun evening! JR especially loved the meat tongs and dessert.


Best of all was Monday morning...we went to Zoo Atlanta! What a great experience. JR made animal sounds and fought to stay in the chimpanzee area to watching the wrestling brother chimps. ..see next blog for Zoo Atlanta pictures!
