More From The City

After our trip to the zoo, Cory and I headed out to Buford and the Mall of Georgia. To be honest, I was pretty unimpressed. It was a nice mall, but the "Largest Mall in the Southeast United States" didn't really live up to the billing. Great Lakes Crossing back home is much more impressive (though my mom hates it... she says it's the ugliest mall she's ever seen.) The best thing about Great Lakes Crossing? The mall-cops dress kind of like mounties.

The best part about the Mall of Georgia? Free samples in the food court. It was kind of like going to Sam's Club on a Saturday afternoon and grazing on free samples in the freezer department.

After the excursion to the mall, it was dinner at Dave and Buster's (except we're idiots and we kept calling it "Dave and Barry's," after our favorite humor columnist). If you haven't been to a D&B, think of a Chuck E Cheese for grownups. We had dinner (stuffed ourselves), then blew about $20 on video games and skee-ball. And no, smart-ass... I didn't get winded playing skee-ball this time (if you don't know the story... maybe someday I'll tell it on this blog. But probably not.)

Finally, we headed back to the hotel. We got a sweet room at the Courtyard in Midtown Atlanta (near the Georgia Tech campus), for just $40 on priceline.com. I was pooped out by the time we got to the hotel, and passed out watching the Little League World Series. That's ok... we had a big day planned for Sunday, too.
