Good Vacation Spot in November

Atlanta, Georgia with its surrounding areas is an awesome place to visit in November! The fall weather is very temperate, the airport is quite accessible, and this is not an insane city for the rental car driver new to this urban area.

Things to do in Atlanta range from visiting famous companies such as Coca Cola and CNN; to the history, events and attractions at Stone Mountain; to the Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter and Martin Luther King, Jr. Center. Downtown shopping is famous. Dining can be elegant or simple, fine fare offered by the likes of the southern chain Waffle Houses. Be prepared for numerous streets named after peaches, and for sweet tea served everywhere. Professional sports teams are well known, and amateurs will find much to their liking.


About a two hour car ride south there is a treat in store: Here is Plains Georgia, hometown of the Carters. President Carter still teaches Sunday school here, the train station converted for his campaign office is open and still decorated as such, and you can walk along eating the best peanut butter ice cream in the world. Nearby in Americus, Habitat for Humanity was founded and has its headquarters. If possible try to arrange to visit Koinonia Farm, where this wonderful charity has its roots.
