Trip to Atlanta, Georgia

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Atlanta, GA 30339

The day started with cloudy skies and rainy roads. Our original plan today was to go to the Stone Mountain Park on the Northeast of Atlanta. But due to the rainy and cloudy conditions we have decided to change our plans from outdoors to indoors.

So after a nice breakfast at the Hampton Inn & Suites Hotel we traveled to downtown Atlanta and went to Fernbank Museum. The Fernbank Museum houses one of the largest skeletons of a dinosaur. We saw the dinosaur exhibit walk through time in Georgia exhibit and watched an IMAX movie about the dinosaur excavations in Mangolia and New Mexico.

Then we stopped by Luckie Street and ate at Burgers and More. Bought group tickets to World of Coca-Cola (revamped in 2007). There we saw the exhibits and saw a 4-D movie (sound, 3D and movements of the chair).

Then we walked through the Centennial Olympic park and headed home by about 6:30 PM.
