October 22 - 23, 2009 Southern Hospitality with Scott, Kym in Atlanta, Georgia

Thursday morning we went into the BIG city of Atlanta to drop off the MoHo for some generator work. We then had breakfast at a popular fast food restaurant the Waffle House— not the best waffles, but Karen liked her biscuit and gravy. After Scott woke up we headed back into Atlanta and visited the Martin Luther King Junior National Historic Site. This was an amazing display of his life and the work he did; the history and memories of what was accomplished during his leadership were very moving. We went to lunch at the best rib place, Fat Matt’s. Great “fall off the bone, finger licking good” ribs accompanied by a terrific spicy sauce – asked them for their recipe, but to no avail.
Friday saw us back into the CITY; we had lunch at the famous Mary Mac’s Tea Room, a 65 year old tradition of real southern cooking. Scott, Kym and the two of us all had good meals with way too much to eat. This visit to Atlanta has definitely been tough on the ol’ waist lines, but we have had a really good time. We had hoped to visit the Georgia Aquarium but were disappointed to learn that it was closing earlier than we knew. This will go on our list of “to-do” for the next visit, along with the underground tour and Stone Mountain. The “Boys” have enjoyed getting to know their cousin Barnaby, the Pug. The dogs have all gotten along well and seem to enjoy each others company. Bubba is not so sure about the kitty, Brooklyn, and has spent much of his time on “kitty watch”. Seeing Scott and Kym has been a great part of our trip. Tomorrow we head to Asheville, North Carolina.
