Georgia Aquarium and Tennessee Aquarium

Wow. What can I say about the Georgia Aquarium. It is an incredible experience. It is so awesome inside this aquarium. We enjoy every time that we go. Unfortunately their pricing is also expensive. With a family of five, it would cost us $126 dollars just to get into the door for one visit. Annual passes would run a family of five would run $215. In some ways the annual pass is worth it but at those prices I would rather drive to the Tennessee Aquarium and buy a family pass there. The Tennessee Aquarium is $94 dollars for entry for a family of five or $115 for a family annual pass. What a huge difference. Even at those rates It would be worth buying the Family annual pass for the Tennessee Aquarium and the 2 hour drive to the Tennessee Aquarium.

It has been a while since I have been to both aquariums but at this point budget wise it would be a better deal to go to the Tennessee Aquarium and visit at least twice. Your visit is paid almost in the first visit alone. Three trip to the Tennessee aquarium and you have definitely gotten your money's worth.

McDonough Center for Family Denistry

Wow. I can not say enough about these guys. This practice is absolutely fantastic. I am very impressed with the care that they have provided our family. We have a family of five and my children are extremely comfortable with this group. Plus it doesn't hurt that they have two tv's in every room. One for when you are sitting upright and one for when they have laid back to do the procedure. For children this is a huge plus because it can take their mind off of what is going on in their mouths while they watch their favorite tv shows. For adults it does the same thing and gets people's minds off of what is going on. Their pricing is very affordable and they work with families to stay within their budget.

Well Beware of their Fried Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. It is like being back in High School getting a chicken patty sandwich. It is definitely not worth the $6.99 that we paid for it. We will report back after we try it again at a later point.

IHOP has several locations in the Atlanta Metro Area. As we are located in on the Southside of Atlanta, I can speak for the locations closest to us. Many of the Atlanta area restaurants are offering Kids Eat Free in the evenings.

Locations that we know are offering this right now include:

McDonough

Stockbridge

Hapeville (note this store adds 15% gratuity to parties of 5 or more. To me this is not fair as a family of five should not have gratuity added to the bill. I am of the persuasion that gratuity is tied to service. If you do not provide good service your tip will not be 15%.)
