Dinosaur Skeletons and Dip n Dots


Hello everybody. As you all know, I went to Atlanta GA last week. Well now I'm back to tell you my story about my experience in the empire state of the south's (Georgia's) biggest city. We had to leave the house at 4:40 in the morning. The busses were supposed to leave at 5:30 but those busses are never on schedule and we ended up leaving at 5:40 due to late kids. I was excited cause I got to see South Carolina for the first time and I have to say there was 3 words that describe South Carolina, peaches, fireworks, and the Lord (however, the I soon found out Georgia was more about the peaches than South Carolina.) So we arrived in Atlanta around noon and went straight to the CNN tour. I learned a lot about how CNN works. I also got a Dale Earnhardt Jr. hat there. After the CNN tour we went to the hotel. We were so loud that within the first 20 minutes, someone checked out cause of the noise. It was bad, the teacher even threatened to make us sleep on the bus, I guess he didn't know that I wouldn't mind sleeping on the bus. Then we went to dinner at the CNN food court. So the next morning we had to wake up at 6:00 to get breakfast. Then we went to the Fern Bank Museum where I saw dinosaur skeletons and bought Dip n' Dots. Then we went to the Atlanta Aquarium. There were whales and otters but no large or smallmouth bass. What's up with that? However there was catfish, striped bass, and alligator gar. Then we went to the Coca-Cola Pavilion. There, I got to try Coke products from Italy, China, Japan and many more countries. I also got a collectible glass coke bottle. Then we went to the Cumberland Mall to get dinner and roam around. Then we went back to the hotel to go to sleep. Then we woke up the next morning to pack and get breakfast. When we got are stuff loaded on the bus, we headed of to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial. There wasn't much to see there besides MLK was buried there. Then we went to the Turner Field tour. This was insanely cool! we got to go in the dugout, see the museum and a lot of other cool stuff. I thought the tour guide was going to have a stroke. He was explaining how the grass worked and stuff and he was like the gr- gra grad grat grag he kept on slurring his speech. It was weird. So then we get on the bus to go home. It was long but it didn't seem that long probably cause we watched the Scorpion King and Transformers. We got to the school around 10 and got home about 10:30 it was fun and I'm glad I went.
