This 4th of July was pretty sucky in weather, it has not stop raining. My mom, stepdad and little brother came to visit. As soon they got off the plane I took them to none the other, World of Coca-cola. This is my 8th time there. The guys went on the CNN tour and mom and me went shopping around. Moes was closed because of the fourth of July and that broke my heart, I had a huge craving for some chips and queso. We ended up snacking in chick-fill-a.
Back at Chamblee mom did some chicken mesquite and pasta. Yuani, Juan and Jojo joined us for dinner. Yuani and Juan left but the rest of us went to to watch the laser show and fireworks special at Stone Mountain Park. Even though it was foggy, it was awesome. We had our rain jackets or hoodies on and had a blast. Definitely recommend it. Rain or shine.
Yesterday, we went up north about 1.5 hours to a german city, Helen. We took the "Scenery route" and it took longer but worth it. We passed by the cabbage patch doll place and I wanted to go but no one else wanted to.
At Helen, it was pretty. We did some shopping of course, had some good german beer and pretzel. My beer was the Spaten Oktoberfest, amber, savory and refreshing. Jojo had an Ayinger Celebrator beer, dark and malty, so good. For food we can't say the same, Jojo ordered a sandwich and was definitely not a fan. The german chocolate cake that my parents ordered was delicious. The little brother ordered soup, he loves soup.
We met another puertorican gal now living in Florida. We walked through the german streets, stopped by many stores. We saw a guy doing dome airbrush art on hats and t-shirts, great pulse! At one store a lady called out Jojo to later say "I was telling my friend that If I was 30 years younger I would escape with you." It was hilarious! The parking there was two dollars but it depended entirely on your honesty. You put the money on an envelope and then to a mailbox. Wonder if people really paid, we did. Rainy as it was it was a good family trip.
Aufidersen!
I will definitely be back to Helen on a sunny day! Then I will go to the cabbage patch place and drive 30 minutes more for the Ruby Falls.
