Awesome Atlanta
December 4th, 2006Yesterday I returned from a 5-day adventure to Atlanta where I attended a teacher’s meeting. The speakers were great and the people were among the friendliest of any city I’ve visited. I’ve attached some photos to this post to help tell the story of the sights I saw while in Georgia. We took a tour of CNN, visited the Carter Presidential Library, stopped by the Coke Museum, watched the Christmas Parade, and cheered on the Huskers via television in the company of the Atlanta UNL Alumni Association. The main speaker at our meeting was Chris Gardner, a man who was homeless on the streets of San Francisco for a year with his young son before making his fortune in the stock market. A movie of his life’s story is coming out in theaters soon starring Will Smith. We sampled some great southern food while we were there and enjoyed seeing all the football fans from Arkansas and Florida who were in town for the SEC football championship game. To top it all off, I was excited to visit the new aquarium with my nephew and his family who live near Atlanta. All in all, Atlanta was awesome!
