Trip down to Atlanta

This past Sunday through Tuesday, the 4th year's went on a trip to Atlanta. We were going for networking opportunities and to see how the design world looks from the inside. It was a great trip. Starting out Brooke, Susan, Jackie, and myself all rode down together on Sunday, we left as soon as church was over. The roads and the streets were clear, except for a little sleeting and raining. But as we got down the road the roads got a lot clearer without rain or snow, but we knew it was coming. Towards the middle of South Carolina is when the snow started. And it got bad quick. We didn't even know if we would be able to make it down there. But we kept on, and kept contemplating on whether we should at least stop at another hotel on the way down or not. Brooke and I called some of the others that were already down there to ask and what was going on there and trying to figure out the best thing to do. But they did not seem that concerned about us and we were wondering why, because it was so bad where we were. Because of the ice and the traffic it took us 9 hours to get to the Hotel, rather than 6 hours. As soon as we got there we realized why no one was concerned about us on our way down. It was because there was nothing on the ground in Atlanta. All the roads were clear, most of the snow was melted and there was hardly any ice on the roads. It was almost like there wasn't even a snow storm that come through. So after the trip down we all went to bed because of the stress of driving down. The next morning we all got up and went to the firms that were planned for the day.
