  I have not been yet and would like to make this a group trip with other readers... Too me it is a fabolous idea. There are many to choose from, however I thought this would be great because it is always there and so a budget could be met over time.

  WOW, it has been 20 years! I had no idea. I need to get down there one day and I used to be a resident of ATL! Ugh!
  
  Sounds like a blast of a celebrating.
