Trip to Atlanta

During Gina and DJ's visit I was trying to find things to do. Milledgeville is quite small and there is only so much to do. After going online I found out the Coca Cola Headquarters was in Atlanta as well as CNN World Headquarters. We decided to make a day of it and head to the city.

World of Coca Cola was fun and interesting. The best part was the test tasting room. They had Coke products from 6 different countries. All the products were unique in their own way but definitely not something I could drink on a normal basis.

Once we were done we headed to CNN to try and get into a tour. Unfortunately the next tour was several hours later. It was getting kind of late so we opted for a snack at the Hard Rock Cafe before making our way back to Milldegville.

The Masters

About a year ago a group of friends, Cesario and I all put in for the lottery to get tickets to the Masters. I had also mentioned it to my sister, Gina. When the drawing for the lottery was completed, none of our friends or us had been selected. I get this random call from Gina one day that low and behold she had been selected. It was a bit ironic as we all live in the vicinty but she is in LA. Gina and DJ flew in on her birthday (April 2). We enjoyed some time around here and headed to Masters today. We had an incredible time!!

We walked around quite a bit and enjoyed the day. We got to see Arnold Palmer which was pretty cool.

We saw quite a few other golfers but really didn't know who they were. The grounds at Augusta National are absolutely amazing.

It is funny because we have talke to people who have lived in Georgia all there lives and have never had this opportunity. We haven't been here a year and we were able to go and enjoy. We feel fortunate that we were able to go and experience it with Gina and DJ. We are putting in for it again and keeping our fingers crossed that we get selected!

Georgia Sweet Tea

My sister, Gina and her husband DJ fly in tomorrow for a week long visit. DJ's request was sweet tea. I searched some recipes and received a great one from my friend Jaimel, I made the attempt. The only stipulation was DJ requested I use an artificial sweetner and not sugar. Many of the recipes I found recommended using Luzianne tea bags. I found some at Walmart and proceeded with my tea. It acutally turned out really good. I also bought some Meyer lemons for garnish. Meyer lemons are a cross between a lemon and either a mandarin or common orange. I thought it was picture perfect.
