Chick Fil A Grand Opening!



We made it to our 3rd Chick-fil-A Grand opening and it was our first with Grayson. He did great! He loved being outside all day! Amazingly he took his naps and slept through the night despite the constant noise of the band playing, people talking, balls bouncing, children screaming, etc.
We left at 4:00am on Wed. morning to arrive in Ellijay at 5:00am. To our surprise, there were 275 people in line by 6:00am. Unfortunately, they had to do a raffle for the first 100 people and out of the 5 people we were with, I was the only one that made it in. So, Chad and I started setting up camp after having to say goodbye to our friends--we were really disappointed, but happy that at least 1 of us made it.
It was a very long day with cold rain in the morning and steaming heat in the afternoon. It finally cooled down that night and was very comfortable. We had a good time meeting some new people and eating free Chick-fil-A all day long. Word is definately spreading about these openings and it seems to be getting harder and harder to get into. Nonetheless, if you do make it in, it is definately worth the wait--we walked away with 52 coupons for free #1 Combo meals. Yum!!
