hello everyone!!!
this past thursday robbie and i headed to atlanta. he has a seminar/class for computers during the week and we decided to go down earlier so i can go with him and see the sights. about two years ago i was down in atlanta to vist min when she lived there that year. so i saw alot of stuff but it was all new to robbie and it ment a day off of work for me! so we had a 7:30pm flight. Which got us down there arou 9:15ishy. We got the bag we checked and jumped on the Marta (their version of metro). After about 40mins on that we had to get off and get on another line that would take us to the stop near our hotel. It is now Midnight. We got off of the Marta and started walking 1.5miles to our hotel. Yes we walked at Midnight. The reason is bc the shuttel stoped runing at 10pm. Well the suitcase rolls and we took turns pulling it and carrying his laptop. So at 1:45am we get there and get the key.Which doesnt work and meaning Robbie had to go back down and get it reprogrammed. Im now tire, hot, sweaty, and hungry! Needless to say I did kind of bite Robbies head off a few times before finally going to sleep.
We woke up the next morning to some noise and decided to go to the Coca-Cola Museum. So we ate breakfast and headed down to the Marta to get down town. I had been to the old Coca-Cola Museum and was eager to see if the new one was just as good. They hurd you around like cattle in the begining part of it and its a maze through the rest. They didnt have that much stuff they had in the original one. I found out that they only brought 5% of the memobria with them to the new one. Well that sucks! So we headed back to the hotel since we were still tire. We took a nap and woke up around 7ish. To some more noise. We oredered pizza and watched TV in the room. Well at 10:45 we were getting ready for bed and the noise outside our door was so loud. We found out that there were two huge family reuions in the hotel that weekend. So Robbie looks out the peep hole and see a bunch of people just standing in the hallway talking. So I called down to the front desk and complain. In a few mins it died down. Then started up again. Ok enough! its 11pm at night and Im dead tire! So we get dressed and head down to the front desk. I explained to the lady, Daloris, about what was going on and she said she sent someone up and then they started up again. She then said let me see if she could move me. Well they couldnt find anywhere in the hotel since they were all over the place. Except the VIP floor! Sweet you need a special key to get up here. And best part PEACE AND QUIET! Plus Daloris gave us four coupons to get breakfast free. Nice! So we got a peaceful night sleep and ready to get up early the head to the aquirium.
So the next morning we went to go see the Whale Sharks! And they are sooooooooooooooo cute! I'm glad we got there early bc it was getting packed when we were in there and when we left. We headed back to the hotel and then went to see Harry Potter 5 and then to PF Changs (dont hate amberly) for dinner. After dinner Robbie called the hotel for the shuttel so we wouldnt have to walk back. The guy said he would be right over which would take about 5mins. Well after 15mins Robbie got a phone call from the guy apologizing and said he was on his way and would explain later. Ok no problem. So he got there and we headed back. He said he was on his way to get us but the people in the reuion kept getting in the van to have him take them to the liquir store! Great they are getting drunk! But we are on the VIP floor and they arent up there!
So the next morning is Sunday and we get up,eat and Robbie had to switch rooms to another suite bc of some snobby person who always getts in the room we were in. Ok no problem. The hotel staff was awsome. We get another ride to the Marta since we were spending the day dowtown before heading to the airport for me. While Wendy was driving us she said she was sorry about the stay for me and all the noise. Turns out that the first night the famlies were there, they were smoking pot in the room. Great! Then we found out thanks to her that they trashed the pool area the second night and the lobby. That they had broken glasses all over the place, stole towels, blankets, and trashed a few rooms! Needless to say they were not happy to see me go but wished it was those other people. But Robbie getts a suite out of it with out the price. He even getts into the Club room in the hotel. Score!
We got to the airport about 3hrs before my flight. After me crying alittle good bye and getting through security, I went to my gate and waited. Becasue I only carried on my camera bag, I didnt have a book or anything to do to entertain me before and during the flight. Robbie headed back to the hotel so I talked to him for a while. Then I went on hunt for some kind of book. I ended up buying the first book in the Twilight series. Thanks to Em, Amber, and Min I decided to give it a shot. Which was great. We got on the plane just to find out, by talking to the two flight attendents, that the back bathroom was out of order again (it was broke coming to ga), and that my reading light was also broke. Score! Packed flight btw. There was one open seat but it was still day light enough for me to read by the window's light. I ran out of light about 8mins before I landed so it was good. Then got off of the plane and had perfect timing with Torey (Kikis boyfriend) to grab me from the airport and take me to the apartment.
So all and all it was a fun weekend. We leave in a little over a week for the Flordia Keys! Which will be nice to have a long vacation. Robbie is alittle bored down there with out me. The hotel isnt that close to anything and he does walk to class and to get dinner. I cant wait to see him. He comes home on Friday and Im getting him from the airport and then making him dinner. Probably going to chill for the rest of the weekend.
So that is that. Pictures are on Facebook! Enjoy!
