The triple A, I like to call it. Within three days, I went
to Asheville, Athens and then Atlanta. By the time I had reached Atlanta, I had
driven 1,315 miles and I was finally reunited with my Mom!
Asheville is an awesome town. I say awesome a lot, but I
really think that word describes the free-spirit of this artistic liberal town
in the south. We stayed two nights with Kristina and explored the town despite
the pouring rain. The food there was totally scrumptious, and of course, all
locally grown. Best spot we ate at was the Early Girl Eatery, which is where
Kristina works.
Next stop was Athens. We took another picturesque drive
along the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway and stopped at Caesars Head. Check
out the pictures we took of the stunning views here!
Later, we arrived in Athens among the many happy parents of
the upcoming University of Georgia graduating class of 2012. We made it just in
time for commencement the next day… The town was packed, but we found a great spot
for dinner and even had time for some boiled peanuts and sweet fries at the
Trappeze Pub. After dinner we walked through the campus, past the football
stadium, and I felt like I was walking through the set of Friday Night Lights.
I then zipped through Atlanta just to pick up my Mom from
the airport and we continued driving down to Savannah.
