I had a busy fall break.
Friday afternoon was spent out at Ft. Pulaski with Joey. I had asked him to go with me out there. I didn't want to go alone. I hate doing things alone. So, he agreed to go with me. He got to run some errands at the bank he needed to do while out. He also told me my brakes on my car will need some work. I feared it, but he just confirmed it. I got my digital photography assignments completed; he got a a quick lesson in photography.
The trip Lindsey and I took was a little more crowed the we originally planned. We took Joey and my brother along. They didn't go to Six Flags with us. Joey wanted to see his family up there. He drove half the trip and paid for half the gas. That was helpful. Matthew went to visit his girlfriend. Lindsey wasn't too happy about the my brother thing, but the way I saw it with my brother was it wasn't too out of our way, we ended up going in my vehicle, and it made made Jessica happy. Yeah, it didn't help that I had a panic attack on the way to pick up my brother this morning and took it out on her. I HATE driving in Atlanta. Half the time, I don't know my way and the way the lanes are up there, it scares me. I'm just glad I didn't have my car. I wouldn't have survived up there.
The time at Six Flags was fun. Some of the ride worked didn't do there job, and thus, after 40 minutes, Lindsey and I weren't allow to ride Georgia Scorcher. Lindsey was not happy with the inconsistant polacy about what could and could not be allowed on the ride. We went to Guest Relations to complain. As a result of her complaint, we got a pass to bypass the line for Goliath and any other ride of her choice. She chose to bypass the line for Superman: Ultimate Flight. We also ended up riding the Dahlonega Mine Train, Mind Bender, the Scorcher, Gotham City Crime Wave, and the Georgia Cyclone.
The Dahlonega Mine Train, when I got on it, I realized was the very with roller coaster I've ever ridden. I went to Six Flags one over time before yesterday. I was 9; it was 1988. At that age, I would not have wanted to ride too many scary things. The Mine Train would have been pretty scary for me back then, thus probably the most severe ride I rode then. The thing that stuck out of my mind the most from my 1988 trip was a canopy covered in ivy. That's my only really real memory of that trip. Man, I thought I was going to remember that trip forever. We were going to get on the Great American Scream Machine, but after 30 minutes in line, it broke down. We waited another 15 or so minutes before giving up on it.
I will never ride the Georgia Cyclone again. Thankfully, I wasn't wearing a bikini top on the ride. I had a wardrobe malfunction on the ride. When the ride first started, Lindsey and I bumped heads on the ride. Later on the track, my chest bounced. My boobies popped out of my bra. Now, I had a shirt on and a hoodie over my shirt when this happened, so no one saw the flying boobies. However, I couldn't believe I had that happen to me.
This morning, I drove over to the Big Chicken. It wasn't too far from our hotel. I got some shots of it. Then, we went and got Matthew in Buckhead. After the stop in Buckhead, I drove through Atlanta on I-85, without being killed, and got to Fayetteville to get Joey. He ended up driving the rest of the trip, by-passing 30 miles of Interstate from his mother's home to where he got on I-75. He ended up showing us "the ghetto" of Fayette County, GA. Lindsey and I remarked that it that was the ghetto, sign us up! The house were nice! I wish I had one. The 4 of us ended up stopping in Macon for lunch at Cracker Barrel. We got back to Savannah just around 5.

It probably won't come as a surprise, but there is an entire Flickr group devoted to the Big Chicken. Just FYI. 
Thank you for the nice comment on my blog, btw. I really appreciated it.
