Lovin' Atlanta

Those that say you can't take it with you
never saw a car packed for a vacation trip.

We're baaacck from our 'relative vacation'.
Atlanta is one of our favorite cities, and
we have several favorite places to visit
-- in addition to our relatives!

Stone Mountain is the largest
exposed granite monolith in the world.
A massive Confederate Monument
is carved into the granite face, like Mt. Rushmore.
Ride a Swiss cable car to the top of the mountain.
In season, enjoy a paddlewheel steamer ride.
Visit an antebellum plantation, the auto museum
and the Stone Mountain museum. Great day!

The new Georgia Aquarium is a tribute to ingenuity.
Stroll through an acrylic tunnel as tropical fish swim
beside and above you. Explore the world's varied
water habitats within the themed "aqua-areas".

ZooAtlanta started with an abandoned carnival
in the mid-1800's. It's located in Grant Park,
next to the Civil War Museum and Cyclorama.
Cyclorama – a 360º painting of the Battle of Atlanta,
is one of only two in the nation.
The museum also houses the "Texas",
the famed engine from "The Great Train Race".

Next time you're in the area, spend a day or two
exploring the history and attractions of Atlanta.
It's a great place to visit …

In the meantime, remember ...
Life is a journey, travel first class!
