With spring break quickly approaching and gas prices creeping higher and higher, you may be looking for someplace to have fun without breaking the bank or your gas tank!

I decided to take a trip just 3 hours from my house to Atlanta.  Home of Coca-Cola, CNN, Turner Broadcasting, Georgia Aquarium, and the Braves, Hawks, and the Falcons. 

This state capital is great for families, couples, and groups. One thing that I really liked is that Atlanta is a military friendly city. While on my trip I stayed a downtown hotel close to the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coke.  It was a short walk to everywhere we wanted to go.

We started our day out touring CNN.  You get to go throughout the building and learn about how a story gets to your TV so quickly.
