As my dear friend Erika knows, I'm a sucker for an advertisement and the promise of getting out and doing something 'fun'. (From trolley rides through the city to haunted melting pot activities). Today wasn't much different... at first. My brave neighbor and recent transplant from Connecticut has found out that the best laid plans by, yours truly, sometimes are just a McVenture. I have seen the billboards for the mayfield dairy farm from here to Athens all the time. 'One day we'll tour the farm, boys!' That one day was today. Unfortunately, the very time we were there to take the 'tour' they were in between shifts and not taking visitors at that time. AND there's no stinking real cows at the 'farm', it's just a processing plant and i'm not even sure they actually make the ice cream there! Oh well, we found the fake cow, milked it before we got kicked out and treated ourselves to the most delicious ice cream 45 miles from home. Score!
But there was a light at the end of the letdown tunnel. We headed east to Athens and watched the UGA tennis boys beat up on the poor kitties from Auburn. And, the boys got to partake in a free tennis clinic on the women's courts headed up by Todd's childhood friend, Paul. Lastly, we introduced the Martins to The Grill downtown and finally home for the boys tucked into bed around 10:30pm. Phew! Busy day and the perfect McVenture had by all!
Oh YES! This has McVenture written aaaallllll over it! Though nothing will ever top the melting pot in Asheville...BY WAY OF MEAT!!
