Atlanta times two

We visited Atlanta twice in one week.  It wasn't planned that way, but just worked out.  We have now been to Ikea, Coca-Cola, CNN, Olympic park, and the underground in Atlanta.  Not to mention quite a few other sketchy places we didn't really mean to.  The last trip we met Shane's Aunt and Uncle in North Atlanta for dinner, and really enjoyed seeing some familiar faces.
First stop, Sublime doughnuts, a food network suggestion.  Think oreos, reeces, bananas foster, strawberries and cream. It was delicious, but full of sugar, literally.  I actually started to get sick after my second one later in the day.
Centennial Olympic park
 We happened upon a huge gospel concert in the park.  Think hands in the air, dancing, and Aretha Franklin.  [deja vu: Africa].  We were out of place.
Coca-Cola headquarters!
We both really enjoyed this tour, and almost made ourselves sick tasting so many carbonated drinks from around the world.

Next stop was CNN headquarters just a few blocks away.  We were able see a news segment being aired that was live on CNN, plus a lot of behind the scenes news desks, researchers, and anchors. 
We've already started planning our next trip to Atlanta to see the worlds largest aquarium in downtown Atlanta, and stone mountain.
