millions of peaches, peaches for me

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.
