Atlanta has so much history that it’s hard to put it all in one post!
Atlanta is the home of the Martin Luther King Center. This is where you can see the history of the civil war movement and Martin Luther King’s legacy. 
The Carter Center focuses on Peace and human rights! It was founded by President Carter to bring awareness to peace and humanity. The Jimmy Carter Presidential Library is also in Atlanta. At the library you can learn about his presidency and see items from it as well! 
As you may know, Atlanta is the home of Coca-Cola! There is a museum called World of Coke that you can learn about the history of Coca-Cola, see how it’s made, and taste different flavors from around the world! You can also get your picture taken with a Coca-Cola bear! 
Atlanta has sports teams as well and hosted the Summer Olympics in 1996. Atlanta is home to the MLB team the Braves, NFL team Falcons, the NBA team Hawks, and WNBA team Dream. We are Braves fans in this house so we have been to many baseball games over the years! 
This is the entrance to what is now Turner Field, home of the Atlanta Braves. Back in 1996 during the Olympics, Turner Field was used for the opening ceremony. It was called Olympic Stadium and used for track and field events as well as the closing ceremony!
This is right beside the entrance. It is the caldron for the Olympic flame! It was right beside Olympic Stadium, but was moved when the stadium became Turner Field.
The Braves will be leaving Turner Field in 2016 and moving to a new stadium! It will be hard to say goodbye to 715 Hank Aaron Drive. That’s the address of Turner Field. It was given that to honor Hank Aaron’s 715 career home runs.
As you can see Atlanta is a great place for a vacation! I hope you can come visit soon!
