So, I went to Atlanta a few weeks ago.
Basically, I was going to stay with my friends, Alli and Melinda. I've visted them in Atlanta before. When Caitlin heard about this she also wanted to go. So, we found some plane tickets and called Melinda to check if those days would work out. Melinda decided not to tell Alli, that it would be a surprise. But Melinda was also working the afternoon we were getting in. So the basic plan was: Caitlin and I meet up in the airport, wander around Atlanta for awhile, and then meet up with them somewhere, like a restaurant, surprising Alli. This plan actually worked, despite the lack of planning, although we ended up changing the restaurant to their apartment. Just easier.
We found Caitlin's favorite Lichtenstein. Just sitting in Atlanta.
We finally meet up with Melinda!! Why the disguises you ask? Well, when we were going to be sitting in a restaurant we thought the disguises were nessecary, and then decided to keep them for fun when we changed it to their place. Melinda picked us up and helped us put on our disguises in her car, then went to the apt while we hid in the parking garage waiting for her secret call.
Also, when Alli looked through the peep-hole she didn't recognize us, so I guess the disguises did work.
Waiting in the parking lot.
Giir! The ferret who thinks she's a cat. She also likes to steal things.
We bought them a rock 'n roll nutcracker as a thank you for letting us stay there.
Moustache fun.
Off to the park. Melinda had to work in the morning so it was just the 3 of us for awhile.
I think she's trying to look like a southern belle.
We don't really know how to look Southern.
One of our old favorite activities: going to 2 different fast food places (in STL it was Jack-in-the-Box and White Castle).
Value Village!
I told Sarah I'd scope out the place. It was big. And clean. And pretty cheap.
My friends have pretty great taste.
Look at this great window display! I like the one that looks like Liza Minelli.
On the subway to the airport.
Alli and I were not impressed by their matching outfits.
My trip was so perfect. It was amazing seeing all 3 of them again at the same time. I miss them all a lot. The lack of pictures (well, for me, probably not for a normal person) is because I was just too busy catching up with them to try and take more. Also, painting and playing video games. Both hard to take pictures while doing.
A re-enactment of Alli being surprised. In reality, she stood there and stared blankly at us for a long time. It was a face of shock. It was great.
Rock Band!

Caitlin trying and failing.
Value Village!
Painting some t-shirts.
Trying on all of Caitlin's new clothes at once. She had a lot of great finds at Value Village.

And the boys bought a Christmas tree for work!!! It's real, and it was supposed to be tiny, but they wanted to get a bigger one. As one of them told me, "I wasn't coming back with a tree that was shorter than you." It looks pretty great. We all stayed after and decorated it.
This is when someone accidentally cut thru the Christmas lights. I don't even know what he was thinking. I re-wired it and got most of them working again.
Our beautiful tree. People keep adding more to it. It's pretty great.
