Atlanta Trip 2009
by Nathan on Feb.27, 2009, under Uncategorized
I had been wanting to see the Bodies Exhibit for year, so when I found out that it was in Atlanta I got some people together and made a day trip out of it. It so happened the Saturday we choose to go, was also Valentines day. Which kind of made it ironic when I saw a bunch of human hearts.
After a crazy early morning drive through the middle of nowhere Alabama and Georgia, we made it to the exhibit. We go in and started looking at the bodies rather quickly. There were some crazy looking things in the exhibit. They displayed, bodies cut open in poses like playing basketball and drawing on a pad. Also there were babies fetuses at all stages of a pregnancy, and a large intestine sprawled out. I didn’t really find anything all that disgusting except for maybe the penis that was cancer ridden. The exhibit was more like a museum exhibit than I thought it was going to be, but it was still awesome to see and I enjoyed every second of it.
After the exhibit, we grabbed some quick food, and headed to the aquarium. But since it was already almost 3pm and they closed at 6pm we decided to find something else to do. We through headed through Olympic Part to the CNN building to try and take that tour, but it was already full. So we decided to hit up a liquor store then head to a bar for a few drinks. After that we went to some hole in the wall BBQ place that has some of the best ribs in the world.
It was a great day trip to Atlanta. Though it sucks that we didn’t make it to the aquarium. I’m going to try again with another group of friends, when we go to Outerz0ne.
