Now that Scott has arrived back in Virginia with his camera, I can update the blog properly. I spent New Years Eve as Scott's copilot on the way to Houston. We decided to stop in Altanta since the Hokies were there for the bowl game and it was a good midway place to stop. Unfortunately, we decided not to splurge on tickets to the game and rather to spend the money on a nice New Years dinner at the Ritz. We got into Altanta around 5:30 and got a phone call from my Uncle David (who was suppose to be the head referee for the bowl game, but had to decline the offer since the one team he can't ref for is Tech). He had 2 tickets to the game if Scott and I changed our minds. Our dinner reservation was at 6:30 and we couldn't have possibly made it to the game so we sadly turned down the 4th row behind the VT players tickets (we had no idea at the time!)..... Dinner, however, was amazing and I'm so glad we made the decision that we did. Scott had Lobster, I had Filet, and the dessert and other 3 courses of ahi tuna, fried oyster with wasabi cucumber shooter, and potato leek soup with caviar were out of this world. I should also mention that while we were at dinner, I sent out a few Happy New Years texts to friends. However, the most exciting response back that I received was from Krista to tell me that she had given birth to Liam that morning around 6am :-) What a wonderful way to spend New Years Eve (the snuggly new baby part, not the giving birth part). After dinner we went to the "Official Bar of the ACC" for a private showing of the game. Scott and I each had our own personal bartender. Everyone was at the game! People started arriving after the game and we all rand in 2010 together. The next day we went to the Coca-Cola factory, toured CNN, visited Centennial Olympic Park, Had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, and enjoyed another nice dinner at Ray's in the City.
