The Sundial

 We took Lincoln on a special date last week to The Sun Dial.  Its a beautiful restaurant on the 72 floor of a hotel.  It also happens to rotate around so we thought Lincoln love it. 

 The view was gorgeous!

 This building was so gorgeous, apparently they have receptions and '"balls" up there.  I think I might need to get to one of these. 

 I sure love this cute boy, he was so much fun!

 Our dinners were as pretty as they were good.  Lincoln had said on the way to dinner that he just wanted a "huge" hamburger and the menu just happened to have his dream hamburger.

 This dessert was on my top 10 of all time. 

 This was possibly Lincoln's favorite part of the night.

 He and Josh used this telescope to find out the score of the Braves game.  

 The sunset that night was so gorgeous.  It was such a lovely night

The Varsity

After the Cyclorama Kristen and I headed over to The Varsity (with McKay of course).  I am a huge fan of anything retro and this place was AWESOME.  

This place can serve 600 cars and 800 people!  It was HUGE!

 Deep fried peach pie..yum, yum.

 The food was so good, I need to take the rest of my family back here!

Cyclorama and Civil War Museum

 For Kristen's last day in Georgia we headed to see the Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum.  It's the largest painting in the world and is pretty impressive.

 The is the Texas that was used by the Confederate in the Great Locomotive Chase of the Civil war to recover the locomotive General from the Union.  

 The gift shop was pretty awesome.  

We had to dress up a little bit.

 This mustache was definitely the find of the day.

 All sorts of artifacts from the Civil War.  

 It was so interesting to learn about the Battle of Atlanta while actually living IN Atlanta (or near it anyway).  I have loved all of the History here. 

Oakland Cemetery

The Oakland Cemetery was on the list of things to do in Atlanta.  It was definitely not what I expected...

 It had a visitor center, which was awesome in itself, but the stuff they sold really was the icing on the cake.  It was totally awesome.  

 We explored around the cemetery following a map and saw so many cool things.  They even have Halloween events and I am pretty sure that our family needs to go here for our new Halloween tradition.  

 The main grave that we came to see was Margaret Mitchell.  It was actually a small grave compared to what I thought it would be.

 Oldest lamp post in Georgia.  It was gas lit and still going strong.

 Atlanta's first mayor

 The confederate soldier section of the cemetery, so interesting.

 This was the tomb of the first person of the bank that ended up Wells Fargo.  It was pretty impressive.

 This was the Jewish section of the cemetery.  I thought it was so cool.

 Bobby Jones, the founder of the Masters Tournament. 

 There are a lot of movies that are filmed in Atlanta, we saw this film crew checking things out.  I'm guessing the creepy parts of the cemetery are going to star in that movie.
