olympic biking.

while in search for things unique to atlanta, we came across the 1996 olympic mountain biking course. in doing some research we found that this was the first olympic mountain biking course--
pretty monumental and awesome, so we had to check it out.

hands down, this trail was the most fun we have ever ridden. through a series of quick, downhill switchbacks, it was easy to gain speed and zip through the track and fun little obstacles along the way. i also must mention there was hardly any uphill, which made for a great ride

 olympic riders? not quite, but we did finish the trail and a sweet ride.

coca-cola.

 an afternoon of exploring atlanta led to the world of coca-cola, a museum all things coca-cola. it was pretty awesome as one can only imagine. first stop was a display of giant coca-cola bottles decorated in themes to represent countries and cultures from all over the world.
we also of course had to get a picture with the coca-cola polar bear..who we are pretty sure was a male

we also held one of the 1996 atlanta olympic torches, coca-cola a proud sponsor

and received a complimentary bottle of the freshest coca-cola you could ever taste

in the end there was an entire room full of coca-cola drinks from around the world, and of course austin made us sample a cup from everywhere. some of our favorites were from africa and south america, but in the end nothing can beat the original

zipping.

valentines day. every year austin plans a well-thought-out adventure activity for us to do--the man knows the way to my heart. this years surprise...zip-lining and ropes course adventure at callaway gardens. heights are not my thing, and i will admit that at first i was a little hesitant, but by the end, i loved every minute of it...okay maybe except for the swinging logs, which you can tell by my face in the picture below...





  another perfect valentines day!
