So the boss is sending me to Atlanta for a week of machine guarding training at Georgia Tech. We have friends in Asheville who want us to come visit. So, the shortest distance between two points involves going all the way from Raleigh to Asheville then to Atlanta, right?
We head out Saturday morning for Asheville (more specifically Hendersonville), then leave Sunday for Atlanta. Taking the wife and son for a week away from the day-to-day at home, to explore Atlanta a bit.
First, any suggestions of shops/independents along the way? I'm covered locally, and have a towing reimbursement in my policy, should anything happen, and we have AAA (mind you the 525 has 124k on the auto tranny).
Second, suggestions for good places to eat, things to see, while in Atlanta? We'll be staying right near GT, and have $180 worth of gift certificates to use up at ESPN Zone, and plan on hitting the Varsity and Three Dollar Cafe, but I'm open for other ideas!
And if you see us on the highway, give us a wave!
