Back to Boston
It was a great week away down in Georgia definitely some good times, good food, and of course… Good beer! 
We started the week off right with a great bar/restaurant called Taco Mac. LOVE IT. Over 300 different types of beer, and the food was quite good as well. How can you go wrong? After going to another club at night that the band was just not what we were looking for we even returned to Taco Mac just to shoot down a few more beers. Good thing I brought my I.D. everywhere I went because I had to show it almost everywhere. They are way more strict down here then we are at home.
We spent the majority of the days at the pool with a cooler and that was a really great way to spend a week. We also did go to the Aquarium and a day at six flags over Georgia and finally a concert at cowboys. Yeah… Cowboys. We saw Driving and Crying there on our last night and it was a pretty good time. Not really my thing, but neat to see some real country partying. Even if line dancing isn’t impressive to you, how about seeing 1,000 people packed on a dance floor all in sync, and nobody bumping into anyone. Talk about efficient 
The Aquarium was extremely impressive. I have never seen anything like it. Our Aquarium at home is pathetic if compared to this place. The tanks were enormous, enormous enough to have whale sharks swimming about. They also have a glass tunnel going through the tank with a moving sidewalk so you can concentrate on just watching the fish. Several different sharks catch your attention as you move through the tunnel . Really awe inspiring. They have a salt water exhibit that just illuminates the room with bright color and the feel of the reef. Even a wave will come crashing every few minutes apart. Just really amazing. A must see if you ever make it this way.
Six flags over Georgia is a much nicer and cleaner place than the two six flag parks that exist closer by us. The weather didn’t exactly cooperate with us as the rain shut down the park a few times sporadically throughout the day but it was still a good time. The coasters here were a total blast. Goliath is there monster coaster and it was the biggest coaster I have been on. The best feature of it , was the way it kept repeating very large hills and of course what goes up… Must go down… and with much haste! 
They have superman also that once seated, tilts, so that you are stretched out as if flying like superman. That was an intense feeling especially on the inversions. Much fun.
Lots of country food, some quality time with the relatives, and quite a bit of relaxation. That makes for a great vacation. Now to do it all again, but this time… Orlando! 
Not sure who thought it would be a smart move to go to a concert on a Sunday night, but let me tell you it outright… It is not. Last night we went to see two bands I had never heard of Hinder, and Saving Abel. The show was at the Hampton Beach Casino. It was actually quite a good time, and a great place to see a show. I just didn’t feel crowded in at this place. I would go back… Just not on a Sunday night.
across the water. That is, until this year. It was a no show. No idea why and not sure how long he has been doing it but it’s before my time here. The other thing I love more than anything is the fireworks on the pond. This year I had to work both evenings (3rd and 4th) and figured dragging my laptop out to the deck wouldn’t take much away from the experience. Although the view from the deck is spectacular, with your eyes peeled on the laptop it just wasn’t the same. It’s also no comparison for the 360 degree experience you get when putting your boat out in the center and just watching it all go off around you. Next year I will be sure I do better!
A more fun thing is our August vacation is almost planned out completely with nothing left to do but enjoy, meanwhile my Georgia vacation is closing in unsuspectingly. Looking forward to both! Oh and next year… Watching those fireworks from my Jacuzzi!
Caught this guy this evening on none other than a baby -1 . That lure kicks some serious ass! Got my grill all cleaned up today (its been a long time) and then thought a little boat ride was in order with the fishing rod. I am starting to think I can leave the tackle box at home.
are fooled while fishing throwing their lines like mad as the carp break the surface often while spawning. The picture here is a bit hard to see but if you look carefully what is breaking the surface of the water there is a fin of a crap, looking just below that to the right you should see another carp swimming along side. Carp spawn by swimming side by side and rubbing up against each other. As eggs are released they generally stick to vegetation. The swimming carp make quite a splash at the surface and this is what makes unsuspecting fishermen go crazy. Because carp can be so large this splash is a hard to miss! The eggs will hatch in roughly 4 days from now. Having my iPhone handy has already proved lucky. I have never been able to catch a picture of these guys before.
