As far as visiting Georgia . . .
This summer we had a 16-year-old exchange student from France living with us. Since I am interested in history I drove her to Cherokee, NC, which has some Native American history and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. (It also has a gambling casino but we didn't go there.) She enjoyed white water rafting but for the rest she was bored, bored, bored! Back in Atlanta we took her to CNN headquarters, the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, and a Braves baseball game. She liked the Coca-Cola museum the best. I would have liked to take her to the Atlanta History Center and to the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial, but I knew she wasn't interested. I also wanted to take her to Destin, FL, (6 hours away) or to Orlando (8 hours away) but we couldn't find the time. Later in the summer I took a different group to Savannah, GA, and to Tybee Island (a small beach town). I enjoyed that as much as anything we did all summer.
