My next adventure is about my vacation to Atlanta, Georgia. I went to Atlanta in middle school and would always say that if I had to move away from Houston that Atlanta would be the city for me! It is so similar to the way of living and a great place to start a career. We spent about a week there and found something to keep us busy every day.
One place we absolutely had to visit was the King Center. Since I was a young I’ve always been a fan of ANY type of history, so of course I was so excited. The center had different monuments and programs all dedicated to life of Dr. King. It also had letters and photos from many of his fellow civil right workers and activists. Atlanta is also where Dr. King was born and raised so we had the opportunity to take a tour of his birth home! Being that I had already visited the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, the location of the Civil Rights Museum and the hotel were Dr. King was unfortunately killed; visiting Atlanta to see the rest of the history of Dr. King was even more exciting. We also had the opportunity to visit the Michael C. Carlos Museum which has ancient objects from all over the world.
Atlanta is also the home of the Coca-Cola factory. The factory has exhibits about the history of Coke and different collectibles. There is also a beverage lounge that has a fountain dispenser with different types of Coca-Cola drinks from all over the world. I tried beverages from China and was amazed at how different it tastes from our drinks here in the U.S!
Some other places we got the chance to visit were the Georgia Aquarium, which is the largest in the world, the Hard Rock Café Atlanta, Stone Mountain Park and the Underground Atlanta Shops.
