So March 3rd is the date?  I will put it on my Calendar.  Just need to know time and place to meet up.  Will we be doing anything else besides meeting for dinner?  I hear Atlanta has a really nice new Atlanta Aquarium.  Would be nice to see.   Smile

Hi everyone!

Sounds like it's going to be a fun shindig. Mind if I join? Either date is good for me also. My birthday is March 13th so we could celebrate that at the same time. Woot!  Partaaay!!!   Mr. Green   LOL  

I can print out and bring some Boycott Aruba-Justice For Natalee envelope label stickers for everyone to use. And I can also bring the booklets ""While You Were Sleeping...Chronicles of a GHB Trip". Think I have about 25 booklets I purchased at one time while I was sending out Boycott Aruba packages. I might even have a few Boycott Aruba magnetic bumper stickers left.

You can contact me at dkpen357@yahoo.com to send info, please.

God bless~


dkpen, looks like we share a March 13 BD!!

Okay, it looks like Saturday, March 3, 2007
is the First Atlanta Monkey Lunch Date!

I have emailed my nomination for PLACE to BTgirl.
If you don't hear from her first, please email her -

sockmonkey_mom@yahoo.com

(Wonder if this place has Bananas Foster?  Laughing  )

BT - If you would just forward the message I sent you? Thanks!

dk - lots of things to see here; aquarium certainly one of them and I haven't done that yet. (Baby panda at the zoo, too!) I'll try to get some information together and post it.

Please remember that I just live here, though - not a tour guide or travel agent! And I don't know how many will be interested in making a day of it.

Our LOCATION is very close to Lenox and Phipps shopping malls, Atlanta's premier shopping area. Some folks might want to do that.

Where ever we end up, I'm sure it will be fun and wonderful to meet you all. I am really excited about this. I don't know a lot about Atlanta and I'm not very good on directions so I will be printing out that information via map quest.

It doesn't matter to me where we meet as long as it's not a dive bar. lol
Where ever you all pick I will be there with bells on.


God bless~

Here are some of Atlanta's attractions. But I think it would be hard to do justice to most of these (and get your money's worth) on a day you're doing lunch elsewhere!

Unless otherwise noted, all of these are, generally speaking, in and around the downtown area, and would be easy to get to from I-85.

Please call or email ahead and do your own research; all of this info is from web sites and might be out-dated.

Georgia Aquarium
You need to get tickets in advance; not sure of availability as this has been sold out on many days and Saturdays might be tough. They can email tickets to you.
10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Aquarium Home Page:
http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/index.aspx
225 Baker Street
Atlanta, GA 30313
404-581-4000
visitorservices@georgiaaquarium.org

***
Zoo Atlanta
The baby panda will be making her debut on view as of Feb. 23. Timed tickets are available online; they are $5.00 more than the usual general admission zoo ticket (which is $18.00).
9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., but pandas only during morning hours
(9:45 - 11:45). You can get tickets online.
Zoo Home Page:
http://www.zooatlanta.com/home.htm
800 Cherokee Avenue
Atlanta, GA 30315
404-624-5600
info@zooatlanta.org

***

Turner Field
You can get to the dugout, luxury suites, broadcast booth etc. Tickets are $10.00. Green lot parking is free for tours (see other links for maps etc.) Be SURE to check ahead (some events cause cancellations of tours). This might be do-able before lunch.
10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Tour site:
http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/atl/ballpark/tour.jsp
Turner Field
755 Hank Aaron Drive
Atlanta, GA 30315
404-614-2311 (tour info)

***
Fox Theatre tour
When I did this, they did the trick of "elapsing" a full day in 1 minute (sunrise to sunrise, complete with stars). $10.00 ticket ($5.00 for seniors). This might be do-able before lunch. This is a must-see in Atlanta and I LOVE to go there for movies, plays or concerts.
One-hour tour, 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. on Saturdays.
http://www.foxtheatre.org/
660 Peachtree Street NE
Atlanta GA 30308
404-688-3353 (tours)

***
Cyclorama - Circular depiction of the Battle of Atlanta, created 1885. $5.00 ($4.00 for seniors). Might be do-able by lunch.
9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
http://roadsidegeorgia.com/site/cyclorama.html
(Inside Grant Park, right by the gates to the zoo)
800 Cherokee Ave SE
Atlanta, GA 30315-1440
404-658-7625

***
Atlanta History Center
The elegant Swan House mansion, the Tully Smith farm house and vegetable garden, Victorian playhouse, museum, gardens. $15.00 ($12 for seniors). This is in Buckhead.
10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.
http://www.atlhist.org/
130 West Paces Ferry Road
Atlanta GA 30305
404-814-4000

On another day, we might plan to have lunch at the Swan Coach House and tour the whole site. (We need to KNOW it isn't going to be too cold to be outside.) The Coach House is one of our favorite places for lunch.

***
Atlanta Botanical Gardens
This is another of my favorites; my family likes to go there for picture-taking. A huge conservatory with many orchids. The children's garden is terrific for all ages, too. $12.00 ($9.00 for seniors). This is in Midtown (adjacent to Piedmont Park).
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
http://www.atlantabotanicalgarden.org/home.do
1345 Piedmont Ave. NE
Atlanta GA 30309
404-876-5859

***
Oakland Cemetery
Okay, I'm weird, but I like tromping around old cemeteries. This is FREE! Bobby Jones and Margaret Mitchell are buried here. Best time to do this, though, is on a particular Sunday in October - they do a "birthday party" and open some of the mausoleums, have a "Victorian Hat" contest, scavenger hunt, story telling, Varsity hot dogs, etc.
Sunrise to Sundown.

248 Oakland Avenue, SE
Atlanta, Georgia 30312
404-688-2107

And of course, there's shopping ... great malls.

MissM, thanks for calling me.  Daughter had the pc tied up most of last week.  March 3rd is dandy.  I'll email BT.  

This is very exciting stuff.

BT - I spoke to SunFreak this a.m.; her computer was unhooked for most of this weekend because she is turning her home upside down.  Laughing

She'll check in some time today.

I think the Birmingham Monkeys should climb out of the trees, and the Cats stop hunting for one day, and drive over to Atlanta.  It's not that far!!  Have driven to Talladega Race Track many times.  Birmingham is just a hop skip & a jump from there.

Next time we can do a lunch in Birmingham!

We have had more than one place suggested for lunch, so will everyone please remember to let me know your preference. That way, I will have time to email everyone the choices in order prior to Saturday.

Thanks.  Very Happy

Gosh....you guys are going to have such a good time! What a great idea! Enjoy your time together, and don't think about those of us at home eating a cold baloney sandwich. Laughing  Laughing

Happy Birthday in advance, too!


The Birmingham Monkeys should get together too. That would be close enough for me to participate. I love lunch dates! Wink
