We just got back from a trip to Atlanta, where we stayed at the Marriot Marquis in downtown Atlanta. This hotel was huge, 42 stories tall. We stayed on the 32nd level. Tallahassee has one tall building, the Capitol, and it's only 22 floors high. Riding up and down the glass walled elevator was cool, Ryan loved it.
Anyway, except for the height of the hotel, it was about the same as any other, except it seemed they lived a bit on their name. No free internet, the TV was not good, they overbooked enough that we didn't get part of our package and had to park off site instead of valet parking. But, they took care of it and did refund that so it was fine.
We were in Atlanta for Shelby's Volleyball tournament and that was cool but Ryan and I had lots of time to spend. We took a trip to the Aquarium and it was pretty nice. It was also part of the hotel package so that was even better.
What was strange was that even though we were over 300 feet in the air, many times at night, we could hear motorcycles racing by on the street. We didn't hear any other sounds, really, but sport bikes winding out a bit seemed to carry right up to our room.
I'm glad to be home but my poor Bandit is now yellow. Pollen has covered our carport and my bike needs bath!
I'm cleaning up the site too, adding a few links, etc. So take a look, might be one or two you may not have seen before.
