This weekend we took a little getaway to Atlanta with Curt and Lindsey! We decided a couple weeks ago that we should go on another vacation, and decided Six Flags Over Georgia would be a fun place to go! Atlanta is only about 3 1/2 - 4 hours from Nashville, so we left on Friday night once we all got off work, made a quick stop at Chick-fil-a, and then headed on our way. Unfortunately we got stuck in about an hour of traffic in Chattanooga...yuck!
We weren't excited about it...
but Curt apparently was!
The park didn't open until 10:00 am Saturday morning, so we made a quick stop to Cracker Barrel on our way. Two pharmacy students + two one income families + expensive food inside the park = get full before we went so we didn't have to buy too many snacks!
Excited to finally make it!
We had only been at the park about 15 minutes and were in line to ride our first ride, when Curt and Lindsey got a call from their apartment complex. Apparently, right after we left on Friday night, the fire sprinkler in their bedroom busted and started spraying water all over their bedroom. Since they weren't home, the response time was longer and by the time the fire department got there (and kicked in their door) the water was already pretty deep in their bedroom and flowing into their living room! Clothes, furniture, mattress, pictures, everything got wet. But, I guess if they were going to get such bad news, Six Flags was a good place to find out!
This was Lindsey's face after she found out...
And this is Curt and Grant...
Curt called the insurance adjuster, but there was nothing really that we could at that point until Monday morning, so they decided to make the best of the vacation and try to have fun anyways! They handled it great!
Random photos from the day:
Water break! It was HOT!
I HAD to have a Turkey Leg!

Batman!
After a full day of riding rides and Curt and Lindsey's news, we were exhausted!
But we had a great time!
P.S. We also figured out it was Gay and Lesbian day at Six Flags - soooo that was fun...
We went back to the hotel and freshened up, took a quick rest, and then headed to a new trendy area of Atlanta to eat dinner. The food was great! Afterwards, we grabbed some yogurt and explored their two-story Target!
Sunday, we ran by a couple of stores, then headed back to Nashville to assess the damage at the apartment. Since it will be a few days before they can get back in, they are moving in with us until everything is settled at their place. Yay for roommates :) We helped Curt and Lindsey get some of their essential clothes out and over to our house so they could start on laundry. They were soaked! Once we got a load started, we headed to the grocery, and then Todd and Lisa came over to watch the season premiere of Breaking Bad.
One load down!
Despite Curt and Lindsey's apartment being completely flooded, we did end up having a great weekend in Atlanta! We always have a great time with them and very thankful to have friends we can go on vacation with!
During the car ride home, I asked if anyone wanted to say a few words for the blog to sum up the weekend...
"It was my pleasure!" - Curt
"We're here, we're straight, and we think that's great!" - Grant and Curt
Thanks boys.
