My Atlanta Highlights!

Overall my trip to Atlanta was amazing! It was my first real trip without family, besides school organized field trips of course. It was just my friend and I, trying to navigate through this traveling experience in Atlanta. We got to do exactly what we wanted to do, and I can't stop thinking about just how much there was to do! It truly is something that I will never forget and a moment I will always cherish.

One of my favorite places was Centennial Park. It is an amazing park located in downtown Atlanta. It has cute water systems throughout the park that create water falls, fountains, or blasts of water which make it so serene and relaxing. The park is pretty big with tons of  places to just sit and relax. After a long day of checking out sites this is the perfect place to go because it's located right next to everything. The aquarium, Coca-Cola Factory, CNN and their stadium are all right there! So, we often found ourselves in this great park unwinding from our activity of the day.

Speaking of activities..... There is so much to do in Atlanta! I think I've said this multiple times, during this Atlanta blog segment. No matter what you are interested in, it's definitely there.If you look on EventBrite there are never ending pages of Atlanta events. I swear there is a party everyday and the clubs are open all the time. The number of day parties was crazy, who knew drinking before 5 would be so heavily encouraged. Not only are there great events, but you may even see a few celebrities (I got to meet two!!!) Atlanta is a major city that alot of celebrities have made their home. Be prepared to bump into a couple especially at the night clubs. Even if partying isn't your thing, there are so many different gatherings going on everyday of the week. There's festivals, house tours, poetry, shopping centers, food tastings, and so much more! You will truly never be bored in Atlanta!

The best part about Atlanta has to be the food! Everything was just so tasty! I didn't have one bad dish while I was down there. Everything was just full of so much flavor, great portion sizes, and just overall DELICIOUS! I highly recommend Hot Chixx. They have really good chicken for low prices, and if you check out their Instagram they always have specials. Chicken Wings, Fries, and a drink for just $5.00??? You can't beat that! To satisfy your sweet tooth, I definitely recommend taking a trip to an ice cream shop called Subzero!  They make the ice cream from scratch right in front of your eyes! You tell them your desired ice cream flavor, no matter how extreme, and they can make it happen. I never had ice cream so creamy and perfectly flavored. Even if you don't have a sweet tooth, this ice cream is a must! Some other honorable mentions are Hattie B's and Old Lady Gang. If you're planning a trip to Atlanta make sure you definitely stop by some of these places for some tasty food!

Now my here are my two downsides. One thing I want to mention is to try not to go in June like we did. Apparently, that is their spring so it rained so much. Definitely go a month or two either before or after, for much more ideal weather. Number two...THE ATLANTA AIRPORT. That airport is intense. It's massive, it's crowed, it signs pointing 20 different ways, and it's just a lot to handle. Be prepared to get lost, and be prepared to bob and weave between everybody.

Nonetheless, Atlanta is a pretty great place! All of our Lyft drivers were friendly and helpful. The people are gorgeous and fashionable. The food is the best food you will probably ever have. The atmosphere is super laidback. Most importantly you will never be bored. There's always something to do in Atlanta, and alot of it is free too! Overall my trip to Atlanta was pretty great!
