I had been DYING to go to Atlanta for many many many years since my favorite show on television, THE WALKING DEAD was filmed there. I FINALLY convinced Mike to go with me in November of 2021. BEST TIME EVER!!!! I'll try to keep the TWD portion short and sweet since I know most people don't care about this. (even though they should!)
One of the first things we did was head to Senoia (aka Woodbury) and had lunch at Nic and Norman's . This is the restaurant of Greg Nicotero and Norman Reedus (Daryl).

This tour was SO AWESOME!! We were the only two on it and our guide made sure we got tons of fun shots! We also got to carry props and had so much fun learning about these filming locations!
We also did
WaterTowerTours and our guide, Collin, was so great! He was actually an extra on the show multiple times!

I absolutely loved visiting the
Woodbury Shoppe and museum. One of my favorite memories is posing for this sweet picture!! Still cracks me up!

This guy looks dead on like Abraham! |
We took a drive through Atlanta on our own to view more filming locations.

This trip wasn't all Walking Dead though... we went to the
World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta and then also went up to
Rock City and
Ruby Falls in Lookout Mtn., GA.
I was a little disappointed in the World of Coca-Cola... I didn't find that much enjoyment in it, but I did enjoy taste testing different coke products :)

We both really enjoyed Ruby Falls and Rock City. Definitely worth a visit!

I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Georgia... mainly for Walking Dead purposes, but I also enjoyed Rock City and Ruby Falls as well. Got another state checked off my list and it was well worth it!
