Road trip: Atlanta...

My long day, Sat August 9th...

Waking up at 6am to drive from Miami to Atlanta! Around 7am we were on the road, and I couldn't drive as I do (80-85MPH :) yeah I drive fast) cuz a weekend ago I've got my 1st ticket, 15 mph over the limit (oops) and everytime I hit 75 my parents went mad. lol but I'm a good driver! I love to drive! :)

Half the way, already bored. It's all straight, keeping the same speed, trees, farms.... that's all I saw.

Around 8pm we arrived at Atlanta, Georgia! Yei! But we didn't make reservation whatsoever :) We took a look at 3 different hotels and decided to stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn (1501 Lake Hearn dr.) Of course, Hilton means GREAT service. Good price for a great place. Indoor pool, jacuzzi, bar, free Internet, parking lot and what I loved the most free cookies and coffee at the lobby lol
1st day we went to Down Town.

Our 1st visit in Down Town, the Aquarium. I think if you buy the ticket over the Internet, it's cheaper. And I think it's better to go by the afternoon since there are less people, specially if it's a Sunday as we went. The line was long that morning to get in! But it's a MUST see while in Atlanta. 

Then we walked to CNN. Every 30 minutes or so, there is a tour for an hour inside the CNN studios and you get to ride the longest and highest escalator that will take you up in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. It was fun and you get to know more about the most famous news network in the world.

Close to CNN and the Aquarium, there's the Coke museum. We didn't get inside but it looks like fun.

Tomorrow we'll be going to the Martin Luther King Jr. center.
