🌳 Atlanta with My Parents: 9 Must-Do Activities!

When my parents visited the U.S. for the first time, we kept it local in Atlanta—no cross-country trips! Between jet lag, wedding prep, and my pregnancy, we opted for a relaxed but memorable experience. Here’s where we went (and loved!): 🏞️ Nature & Scenery 1️⃣ Lanier Island – Lakeside walks, biking, or golfing with mountain views. 2️⃣ Stone Mountain – Iconic granite monolith + family-friendly hikes. ⛰️ 3️⃣ Gibbs Gardens – Stunning Japanese gardens (self-proclaimed "#1 in the U.S."—who knows, but it’s gorgeous!). 4️⃣ Vickery Creek Trail – Waterfalls, forests, and easy trails for all fitness levels. 🎭 Culture & History 5️⃣ Swan House & History Museum – Elegant architecture + Atlanta’s past. 6️⃣ Ponce City Market – Industrial-chic food hall/shops (a masterpiece of adaptive reuse!). 🏀 Fun & Food 7️⃣ NBA Game – Dad’s dream come true! 🏀 8️⃣ Panda Market – Asian food galore (storm canceled our visit, but highly recommended!). 9️⃣ Local Farms Market – Fresh produce + small-town vibes (every city has one—find yours!). #AtlantaWithParents #FamilyTravel #GeorgiaOnMyMind 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💖
