![]() Were you there on business or vacation? The reason I ask is if it was vacation, what else is there to do there?

![]() I was there on business and added a personal day to go to the aquarium. Not sure what else there is to do there. Coke has a big exhibit next to the aquarium and CNN headquarters are close by.

![]() I'd say Atlanta is worthy of a vacation of say a few days. I'm kind of hoping to drag my family there to the aquarium (I was there on biz so the kids missed out on the aquarium
![]() There's also the Coca-Cola museum. Time was limited for me so I couldn't check it out but it's right next door to the aquarium. Think they also have a zoo. So I'd say probably each of those is worthy of a day. So a long-weekend thing would be perfect, maybe stretchable up to a week but probably not really any longer than that, unless you put another destination into the mix (like, say, go on over to Savannah for a few days and so on).

![]() FYI for anyone who is thinking of going...
The behind the scenes tour has to be booked well in advance. You can do so online. Well worth it!

![]() If I was able to convince my wife, she might like it for the day but knowing her I would have to find somewhere else to take her, she isn't as much of a fish lover as I am. Tolerates me at best, but thats got nothing to do with the fish.

![]() What's she into? Here, check out this list.
http://www.atlanta.net/50fun/completelist.asp When I was there, one of the museums was advertising an exhibit all about gold, which I thought kinda sounded interesting and wished I had had the time to go check that out too. I'll see if I can find a link for it.
