Atlanta: Afternoon in Grant Park


Spring Fever struck Atlanta with a burst of sunshine and unseasonably warm weather this weekend. The air just seemed to tingle with a spark of excitement. Hutch, Jonathan and Mark hopped on Hutch's bicycles and cruised through the streets of Reynoldstown and Cabbagetown, working their way through Grant Park where they rendezvoused with Clay, Lauren and Jared where we commenced to drink water beer and Jonathan's time-bomb margaritas. We then spent the afternoon running through the park playing frisbee and also trying to teach passersby how to throw a frisbee (unsuccessfully).

We ended the day by bicycling over to my house where we cooked up a feast fit to finish off a beautiful spring-like day. Grilled steak, chicken, veggies, poblanos, more margaritas, white wine. Some heated (but friendly) discussions of local politics, the benefits of turning the downtown connecter into one big greenspace and lots of laughter all evening made for a perfect Sunday evening. Can't wait until next weekend!

That looks beautiful - I wish I would have been there! Here in London it is pouring down, so there is no chance to take out the bicycle at all...

It really was great fun... even worth the morning hangover from all the beer/margaritas/wine!
