I love company

A week ago today, a friend from college came to see us. It's had been about two years since Matt and I had seen Stephen, that's due to the fact he's from Northern Ireland! Not only did, Stephen come, Mary Downing did as well.  The four of us used to hang out all the time while we were in college. 

Since we had company, we decided to go into Atlanta and do some of the touristy stuff. I was so excited because I had been wanting to go to Atlanta but never did. Kind of felt like I shouldn't be touristy since I live in the area now. Thanks Stephen and MD for giving me a reason to act like a tourist!

We went to the World of Coke. I had been there when I was younger, but the location has changed and it has had some up grades. My favorite part, I think everyone's for that matter, was the room where you got the taste Cokes from all over the World. It's amazing how gross some of them are! Sadly, I don't have pictures from the World of Coke. The four of us decided to use one camera instead of three. Most of the pictures are on Stephen's camera.

After walking around the World of Coke we worked up an appetite and went to the Varsity for lunch.  Varsity is a local place known for their hot dogs and shakes.

   

Funny picture, I know. Matt couldn't get Stephen and MD to stop laughing. Stephen kept trying to drink his shake but it was so thick he couldn't get it up the straw. Everything is funnier when it's said with an Irish accent. Even complaining about how thick shakes are. 

If you're gonna act like a tourist, might as well go all out and wear the funny paper hats!

Stephen and MD headed to Jackson on Sunday after church and lunch. A quick yet awesome visit. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with MD and Stephen. Hopefully it won't be two years before we get to do it again!
