I Can't Believe I Ate THAT Much!

Today, I set out to explore the great city of Atlanta with a friend. We had no set plan because the day was just about exploring and seeing where we ended up! We get into the car and set off. First topic of conversation was where we were going to eat lunch...we had only just begun, but that is where our minds (and our stomachs) were taking us! We decided to drive around a bit before eating. We were able to stop and take some beautiful pictures of the skyline of Atlanta. Then we visited St. Phillip's Cathedral in Atlanta. We were there for quite some time snapping photos, and we hadn't even thought about food UNTIL the wind blew and we got a whiff of something cooking and that was all she wrote.

We quickly packed up our camera equipment and set off to find food! After driving up and down Peachtree Street we decided to eat at the Pharr Out Cafe. We find a parking space on a side street, park the car, and get out to walk to the restaurant...only to find it was no longer in existence. What were a couple of starving girls to do? We decided to walk up 1 block and eat at a nice little restaurant near The Fabulous Fox Theater. We walked in, got a table on the patio, and promptly began glancing over the menu! We both decided to get a calzone. We both ate said calzones that came to us oozing mozarella and ricotta cheeses. It was, in the words of Willy Wonka, "Scrumdidilyumptious!"

After eating such a heavy lunch, we knew we needed to walk around to "exercise" that off. What do we do? We get in the car and begin to journey all over the rest of Atlanta. We made one more photographic stop, then decided to go in search of a beverage as we were 99.9% parched! Where are two girls to go to find such refreshment? Why Steak and Shake, of course! We go in with the mindset of milkshake. However, we walked in and were greeted by the smell of burgers on the grill and decided we MUST have some burgers, too! Since it had only been a couple of hours since our last "feeding", we decided to split 3 of the new Burger Shooters (mini burgers). This was in addition to the milkshake and Mr. Pibb that we had each ordered. As we sat there eating all this food, we just kept saying, "I can't believe I've eaten this much today!" So, yes, it was a lot of food to consume in only a few short hours, but I think it all balances out since neither of us will be eating for the remainder of the day!
