Day 3: Pizza, Presidents, Peanuts, and more Pizza

Well day 3 began with a Pizza Seminar. Listening to a couple of successful owners talk about the do's and the don'ts to owning your own shop. Good to hear -- hard to get some of the things done that we'd like to. Finished up the expo by sampling some new wing sauces, new dressings, new ham, and checking out some sub rolls (didn't want you to miss all those important details). So the Pizza Expo ends at 2pm and we are off to see Atlanta!



First stop: Jimmy Carter Library and Museum. This was our 7th Presidential Library to visit and we have determined it was our very favorite. Well laid out, lots of interesting things to read and see, and had a nice flow to it. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and didn't even get to see it all because it closed before we could finish.





Second stop: Atlanta Underground. Heard about the shops and bizarre places you could see in the tunnels of Atlanta. We really didn't see much down there -- so we walked from one end to the other and made our way back to above ground to check out Woodruff Park. This park is famous for chess games and we did see several games going on, along with this giant chess game. One other thing that we discovered about Atlanta is that there are many really neat and unique sculptures throughout the city. We took lots of pictures with them!







Third stop: With no sightseeing places open -- we made the decision to drive an hour south of Atlanta to Grantville, Georgia. We have been interacting with another pizza owner in this small town for the past few years through a pizza bulletin board. He had recently closed up his store and we wanted to check it out. Grantville proved itself to be a VERY teeny tiny town with not a lot of things going on.



We stopped at the next small town and found a pizza shop and enjoyed a delicious pizza and some nice cold beer. A great way to end the evening!
