We took a summer adventure to explore family-friendly Atlanta for a little summer getaway! We had the best time and wanted to share our experience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If given the choice, my family would have just moved into the Waldorf Astoria<\/a>, located in Buckhead. We were greeted by the friendliest staff and the kids even got to select a surprise from their welcome toy wagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The kids were over the moon to find out they had their own room<\/a> in an adjoining suite to ours. Each night we were treated to turn down service, which included milk and cookies, and mini-sized slippers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These sunny bathrooms<\/a> were another favorite, stocked with the most comfortable robes and deliciously-scented bath products. Owen was thrilled to be able to watch the Braves game while taking his nightly bubble bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bottled Cokes and an outdoor patio is all we needed for relaxing after exploring Atlanta! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Waldorf Atlanta <\/a>has an amazing onsite restaurant where we treated Seth to a Father’s Day Brunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATL Eats<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Buckhead Diner <\/a>was a top recommendation for dining out and it did not disappoint! This retro styled diner had something for everyone on the menu and a fun atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We noshed on crab cakes, steak, cheeseburgers and of course had to try their famous milkshakes! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATL Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chop On! We loved cheering the Braves<\/a> on to a win! It was a perfect summer night of baseball with ice cream in helmets, walking around The Battery and enjoying the Kid’s Zone with zip lines, batting cages and games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Skyview Atlanta<\/a> was one of our favorite activities! We rode to the top of the wheel in an air-conditioned gondola, enjoying all the sights of Atlanta! Owen and LC wanted to keep going around and around. Next time, I’d love to see the Skyview lit up at night! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up was the College Football Hall of Fame<\/a>, which was a treat for our football-loving family! The Skill Zone and personalized, interactive exhibits were so much fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Hall of Fame even hosts birthday parties! This is the ultimate place to visit for college football fans! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We needed an ice cold Coca-Cola after a full day! The World of Coca-Cola Museum had performances, engaging tours and taste testing with over 100 international and domestic beverages made by The Coca-Cola Company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We enjoyed learning about the history of this iconic brand! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our last stop was to the Atlanta Botanical Garden.<\/a> These gorgeous gardens are hosting Alice’s Wonderlands now through October 27th. The giant topiary-like plant sculptures were among our favorites, along with the Rose and Children’s Gardens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
