Kyle and I went to Atlanta on July 4th weekend to run the Peachtree 10K. It is the largest 10k in the world with over 55,000 registered walkers/runners. The process to get sign up is crazy! You only have a 2 hour window to sign up online on a certain day and time. All other people mail in their form and are picked at random. We "got in" so we set out on our Atlanta adventure!

| See that palm tree? We stopped to have dinner in Inverness, AL (outside Birmingham ) at a Mexican place. I really felt like I was on vacation seeing that!!! |
We stayed with Chirag and Reena Shah on Friday night.
 |
| Here we are hanging out where the Shah's had their first date! |
 |
| Here is a view from the Shah's balcony overlooking either Buckhead or Marietta. Such a cool place! |
Saturday we went sight-seeing! 1st stop...IKEA
 |
| I had to get a picture of Kyle in the 340 sq ft room! I could totally live there if I had to with all the amenities of IKEA. |
So if I did spend 3 days in IKEA, I would've slept there as well. I love how they have "rooms" set up. You can see how they've made it possible for an 800 sq ft room livable!
 |
| I'm not one to shop all day, but IKEA is another world! Everyone must go at least once! The prices aren't bad either! |
Next up: The Varsity
 |
| This a a jumbo sonic! I really don't do fast food but everyone said we must go there so we did. Kyle was happy. |
 |
The cashiers get you in and out like no body's business. "What'll ya have?" You better know what you want or else! |
We drove around Atlanta and there is just too much to see in a day. We must go back! So after seeing the sights, we headed up to Roswell (a town in north Atlanta) to stay with the Mancusos.
