Sarah: We have, we have a day off there too…
Scott: Oh, that’s cool…it was a cool place, I had chilled there when I went; it was fun, it’s super beautiful. I don’t know if your heading east from there, or…?
Sarah: From there we’re going to Atlanta.
Scott: Oh, cool, maybe I get the chance to get to the mountains, ’cause it’s so beautiful.
Sarah: It will be overnight.
