Exploring Atlanta Georgia – Top sights to see

View of Downtown Atlanta

Atlanta, the capitol of the state of Georgia is full of interesting things to see and do. While in Atlanta I learned about the history of Coca Cola, visited the Capitol and enjoyed a walk through the downtown area. When my son and his family were in Atlanta, they focused on things to do with children. Atlanta is great for a getaway weekend or for a lengthy stop on a trip through the Peach State.

Any time is a good time to visit the historic and beautiful Biltmore Estate.

We stayed at the four-star Inn on Biltmore Estate. I felt like we were treated with the same hospitality enjoyed by the Vanderbilt’s guests.
