After Andersonville, we returned to Atlanta late Thursday afternoon. Kenny's mom had travelled with us to Atlanta to visit with his brother while we were in Savannah and we all went to dinner that night at the Louisiana Kitchen, which is an expanded version of Popeye's. It was really good, but by this point, I had eaten so much fried chicken I told Kenny I thought I was about to start clucking and laying eggs.
On Friday, we all got up and went to the new and improved World of Coca-Cola. It was really neat, especially the tasting room. If you go, stay away from the European drink called "Beverly". It is the nastiest soda I have ever tasted. I can't even begin to describe the flavor. However, make sure you visit the Asian dispensing area. There is a green apple soda from China that is fantastic. I really think they should sell it here in the U.S. I could probably make it worthwhile to bottle it here. After touring the World of Coca-Cola, we found the Cathederal for the Atlanta Diocese. Being used to St. Louis and the Basilica, it was kind of weird to realize that their cathedral was smaller than St. Francis Borgia, the church we attend here in Washington. That evening, we went to Cheeseburger in Paradise for dinner. Yes, this is a restaurant with a Jimmy Buffet theme, much like Margaritaville. It does have excellent hamburgers and if you get near one, and you love a good burger, I would recommend this restaurant as well.
On Saturday, we all went to play a round of mini-golf, a favorite Etter family pasttime. Kenny's mom has won several gold medals in the Senior Olympics for her golfing skills in St. Louis. Needless to say, no one in my family plays golf, mini or regular, and I felt a little inept, but I did beat Greg, which made me feel better.
On Sunday, we started the long drive home. We made it in late on Sunday, where all of us crashed until late Monday morning. Last week was spent recuperating and getting ready for school to start this week. Summer is officially over, and it seemed too short for me. I started school today, I start college Monday, and the students come in on Tuesday. I guess we're off and running!
