ATLANTA

 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).

We also did three (yes, three) different TWD tours. 

The first was Walking Dead Haralson Tours

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!

Senoia aka Woodbury

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! 

Glacier National Park Sept 2021

Mike and I went to Glacier National Park in September 2021 -neither of us had ever been to Montana before. This was actually one trip that was more on Mike's bucket list than mine, but I'm happy to travel anywhere!

You might remember our parents were supposed to be joining us on this one, but due to circumstances beyond our control it was just us that made the journey. 

We didn't have a whole lot planned out for this trip. We knew we were renting a car and driving the Going to the Sun Road, but that was about the extent of it. 

It actually worked out pretty well since there are lots of trails and things to do along the Going to the Sun Road. We did a lot of driving, hiking, and even took a boat tour at Lake McDonald.

We stayed outside of the park and were closest to the west entrance. 

The weather was iffy during our time there, but what can you do?! We made the most of it and did get some sun finally. (the day we were leaving) A good majority of the trip was rain and haze so that was unfortunate. We did, however, find a good spot to eat at that was an almost daily occurrence: The Backroom /Nite Owl restaurant. 

The rest of this entry is just photo dump from our journey. :)
