Cobb County: Marietta, Georgia

We had a day in Atlanta before our flight, we decided to explore Marietta, Georgia...about 30 minutes outside Atlanta.

 The first order of business was to obtain a set of wheels, $35.00 later we were heading toward Marietta.

 One of the biggest reasons of traveling to Marietta was to visit the Museum of Gone with the Wind. It didn't disappoint, it was the largest museum in the world. ACTUALLY, scratch all of that. Fortunately I have a big sister that I think studied Gone with the Wind or was Scarlett in another life and insisted that we go to the museum.

 Downtown Marietta, the square resembles Savannah, Georgia.  Its very quaint with lots of little antique stores and eateries. 

 We went to the cutest tea house on the square with a great view over the city. They had great quiche, chicken salad sandwiches and of course PEACH tea. You can't go to Georgia without getting a taste of their peaches.

 

To top the meal off we had Gelato. Joseph's ice cream was of course the most fattening, I had low fat sherbet :)

 

Traveling to Atlanta

The first order of business in Atlanta was to store our vehicle. These people were super nice and very supportive of the military.

Hard at work processing all the vehicles. They take everything out, clean it and mark every knick, ding, scratch even if its there or not :)

I know this pictures is a little random but there is a story behind it. After we processed our vehicle and stored it we found Olive Garden to get some grub. We have had company for a month straight so needless to say we have been eating a little too well. We made a pact to each other that we would eat salads and grilled chicken to slim down. So, in order to help us all out I asked the waiter to not bring the bread sticks. Joseph thought that was blasphemy and quickly spoke up and said, "No, I want the breadsticks!" He said that he couldn't believe I would make that decision without talking to him. :)

This is the best traveling bag, I love it...thanks Mama!

Livin' out of luggage, I feel like a bag lady :)

God bless his soul for dealing with me and my luggage! Here is the beginning of our travels to Japan. We are still in Valdosta, Ga tying up some loose ends as far as our apartment goes, and out processing.
