Speers Family Fun: Atlanta trip 2019

Atlanta trip 2019

A couple months ago we decided we wanted to go to Atlanta to do a Stranger things tour and a Chick- fil- a tour. It took a while to finally decide when we would go but we decided to go in October. On the 16th we went off to Atlanta it was a 13 hour drive. A couple hours into the drive we stopped at Grandy's to eat breakfast. Finally after a really long drive we go to Georgia. Once we got there we went to cracker barrel for dinner. There wasn't many restaurants near our hotel. Once we got to our hotel we went to bed. The next morning it was time to go on the stranger things tour. We went to a place called Atlanta movie tours and there was a bunch of cool props and souvenirs in the waiting room. Finally we got on our tour bus and our tour guides name was Sydney. Our first stop was the restaurant In the first season where Benny found eleven. Before we stopped at each location Sydney the tour guide showed us the scene from that location. On the drive to the next location Sydney showed us some of the scenes she has been in from different shows because she got to be an extra. The next location we saw was the pumpkin patch where Hopper found some of the goo from the demo gorgon. From the pumpkin Patch we just walked over to Hoppers cabin. That was my favorite location. Our tour guide said that the the scenes that they filmed on the outside of the cabin was filmed there but the ones on the inside was just a set. It looked just like the show. Our next stops were the Arcade where the max and the others hung out, the library, and the hospital. We also went to the creepy garage where Billy captured people and where the mice lived. Our last stop was the pool where Billy worked and most of the scenes were filmed there. Once the tour was over we went to some of the other places we didn't see by ourselves. First we went to see Hawkins lab, it looked exactly like the show. Next we went to Hawkins middle school where they filmed a lot of the scenes in season 1. Last we went to Mike, Dustin, Barb and Lucas's houses. They were all in the same neighbor hood. I am so glad we did the tour, it was so fun. The next day we went to the Chick-fil-a head quarters to do a tour. The tour guide showed us Truett Cathys office and some of his cool cars. She told us about his life and his family. After the tour we went to eat at truett's cafe. When we were done we went to the Coca-cola museum. We had already been there a couple years ago but we wanted to do it again. We watched a movie about coke and got to try a lot of different flavors from different countries, most of them were really gross. After the coke museum we went to the aquarium and looked at all the different animals, it was fun. Later when we were done we walked around the park outside of the aquarium for a while. Then we went to eat at Marietta's diner. We got a lot of cheese cake it was so good. The next day we went home. It was a really fun trip and I'm so glad we went.
