We didn’t have anything planned for our time in Atlanta, we actually came this far south for a friendly visit, and again we looked up things to do. My eye was caught on Peidmont Park. The pictures of green grass, ponds, and all the things that being outdoors has to offer looked very appealing to two girls cooped up in the car for hours at a time. We went there and it was a beautiful day, perfect for a run. I never realized how appealing a park could be. It was much nicer than running with cars driving nearby. It was also great to get moving even if there weren’t any mountains to climb on the East end of our trip.
We didn’t stay in Atlanta long and knew we would have to come back to see more of what the city had to offer. Instead we headed to a town north of Atlanta to meet the parents of a late friend of mine. Her death was very sudden and it meant a lot for me to visit her resting place and listen to stories that her mother shared. It was a very emotional afternoon and I was glad to have my sister with me on this trip, life is too short to let it pass you by.
We had made some contacts the night before (at this point of the trip, we left things unplanned) and decided our next stop would be Clemson, South Carolina to visit cousins. It had been years since I saw my cousins, Tucker and Sutton, and they have grown up to be quite the southern gentlemen. We had dinner with their mother, Aunt Christa, (more great Mexican food) and went back to Tucker’s to chill with him and his roomies.
