Mike dropped Meg & Hope off here at 6 AM Wednesday morning on his way to the men’s prayer breakfast at church, & we got on the road soon afterwards. A couple of stops for gas/ice and for Dunkin Donuts coffee for Hope, and we got to the Centennial Olympic Park around 11 to meet Hope’s friend Rachel. They took off to do teenager-y girl things, and Meg & I got busy finding our personalized bricks. Hers and Mike’s brick didn’t take too long – she knew the general area where it was located, and then it was just a matter of reading the names until she found it.
After we found all the bricks we wanted to see, we headed across the street to the College Football Hall of Fame. I did not even know that place existed until Lindee and Mallory were in Atlanta a few weeks ago for the Shawn Mendez concert, and they checked it out. We only had about an hour, but entry is free for the month of August, in celebration of college football’s 150th anniversary, so we went on to see what we could in that amount of time. One of my favorite things was the helmet wall – a huge wall, three stories high, with a full size helmet from every college football program in the country – all divisions. I just loved it, & could have spent the entire hour there just looking at all the helmets. There were plenty of folks there to help you, and when you asked for any helmet, they lit it up for you – like this Tar Heel helmet,. So cool
