Since we all decided to do a drive up to Midtown Atlanta to see the Auto Exhibit at the High Museum, I thought I'd make some recommendations for places to eat and things to do since I used to work in Midtown. I've more or less put some options out there pertaining to the time of day. The problem comes when we need to decide what to do Saturday night for entertainment, if any. Each of the four options I listed out are on different dates except the option of going to the Jazz Club. So let's decide a.) who all is coming, b.) whether we want to make this a day trip or overnighter, and c.) what each of us prefers to do Saturday night. Chime in with any other suggestions

Wow, thanks for researching things to do! My votes: Breakfast at the Midtown Flying Biscuit Café, High Museum, Einsteins, Aquarium, & Mac Tea Room. It'll be Shaun, Geoff, & myself but probably only one MINI...someone's gotta keep Geoff happy in the backseat. We'd be up for an overnighter because I don't think we can fit all of that into one day. Do you have suggestions on where to stay?

 

I think thats doable in one day. How does May 22nd sound to everyone? I could also do May 8th but that would be just the week after MOTD and I know Barb, Woody and I are planning on going to that.

 

Barbie and I won't be able to make it. Barbie is going to have surgery May 14 that will will keep her out of any car for about 6 weeks.

 

Either weekend is good for us. Sorry to hear Barbie will be having surgery
