We arrived New Years Eve, and kicked things off with the Chik-Fil-A bowl game. (In case you were wondering, it used to be called the peach bowl). Most of you who know me know I am not an avid sports fan, but this is the benefit of traveling with friends. You get to do things and see things you wouldn't normally get to see. I had forgotten how fun it is to cheer with thousands of other people at a game. 
Then we went to see the Peach drop. Unfortunately it was so crowded, we couldn't work our way around to the front, so it sort of looked a little flat from the side. Then we went to the Waffle House for some late night (early morning?) food. The next day we got up and went to Coke World. If they tell you to try the Beverly, ignore them. The best part was watching commercials. "Always Coca Cola". Then we walked to a lunch place that was horrible. The worst food ever. Seriously. It was so bad, I have blocked the name of the restaurant from my memory. The funny part was dancing to Wicked on all of our ipods. 
Then we walked back through the Olympic park, and went to the CNN building, and chilled until the NBA game. Watching the Knicks play for the second time ever was cool, but we were all cheering for Atlanta. The next day we went to the aquarium. 
The cool part was a moving sidewalk underneath a huge tank, so you could see into the tank. Then we got our free chick-fil-a sandwiches, and we went out to the fancy shopping center with an Ikea. Ikea is the funnest store to walk through. We ate at a cheesecake place, and it was delicious. The food was so filling, that we brought the cheesecakes back to the hotel. Luckily we had a mini fridge. The next day we went to church. It was awesome because all of the boys were dressed to the nine's, suits, vests, etc. Super cute. And everyone said good morning to the person at the pulpit, so we got a bit of Southern Baptist mixed in with a Mormon testimony meeting. Then we went to a natural history museum and saw an exhibit on gold. Then we drove back to Raleigh. The one thing I learned on this trip was that when you travel with a larger group, you need to plan the food better. But it was fun to go somewhere for New Years.
