Well, our year of roadtrips continued with a trip to Atlanta this past weekend. If you're just joining us, this year the hubby and I decided to take several small vacations instead of a week long trip. If you missed the first few posts, February we went to the Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, TN (not posted) and in April we went to Washington DC and Fredericksburg, VA, and in May we went to Nashville, TN.
This time, we found ourselves (on our first of several planned trips) in Atlanta, GA. There's really so much to do in Atlanta. We started off the day at Zoo Atlanta which is a fabulous zoo. I could sit and watch their gorilla habitat all day long. They even have a panda!
Right outside of the zoo sits a Civil War Exhibit called Cyclorama. It's basically a huge painting (the largest painting in the world) that depicts scenes of the Battle of Atlanta. You sit on rotating bleachers and look at the painting while the narrator describes the scenes. My history buff husband loved it. Whatever, I still got to see the pandas :)
We ended the day with a Braves' game. What a great day for a ballgame. In case you are a sports fan, the Braves beat the Nationals by one run in the 10th inning.
It was a long day but a great day. Big thanks to Karen and Shane for joining us!
Hello from Atlanta! I found your blog link on Southern Bloggers Rock and stopped by for a bit. I've enjoyed reading some of your posts and am glad you had fun in Atlanta. Our panda is about to give birth any day now! :)
