Almost exactly a month a go, Kate and I decided to take a weekend trip down to Atlanta.  We realized when moved down to Nashville, that we were a lot closer to some interesting cities and might as well take the opportunity to see some of them while we were here in The South.  So for Valentine’s day weekend we made the 4 hour trip for a 2 day stay in Atlanta Georgia.

Our first stop into the city was the Atlanta History Museum.  They had a lot of info on Atlanta’s past and growth as well as significant events that were important to Atlanta including the Civil War, Martin Luther King Jr, and the 1996 Olympics.  After checking into our hotel, we got a nice Valentine’s Day dinner at a great Thai restaurant.  For the evening’s activies we had heard about a fun event going on at Atlanta’s High Museum of Art.  We decided to check it out and were glad we did.  Not only was the Art Museum impressive itself, they also had a special exhibit on the Terracotta Army that was very cool to see.  There was also had some fun music, dancing and desserts to keep us entertained.

The following morning we laid out our path to see three of the more popular tourist attractions that were all centrally located to our hotel and Centennial Olympic Park.  Our first stop was the CNN World Headquarters studio tour.  After our tour we moved on to visit the World of Coke and the Georgia Aquarium.  By the end of the day we realized we had seen quite a lot for such a short period and were ready to head home.  We had a great time and Atlanta is a really neat city.
