2010-0601 - The day started out just fine, left home about 0730a. I got to the rest stop just south of Jacksonville to realize that I forgot my camera and batteries. So turned around and returned home to get them. So back on the road to Atlanta. Original plan was to get to Atlanta before the evening rush hour, well that didn't happen. Will attach a photo.
The drive up was good, weather was good till I got between Macon and Atlanta and it rained on and off. Then once in Atlanta it was wild with all the traffic. Took my time and got to the hotel with no problems. Went to the Varsity Drive In for dinner. It was just a neat as was shown on the Travel Channel. They do move like lighting to fill the orders. Check out their web site; www.thevarsity.com I will attach a photo.
Till the next time, Vic

We were not impressed with the Varsity considering it does get lots of hype. Enjoy the rest of the trip!
Have fun Vic. Be safe.
