After reading this I would love to take my family here for vacation, whereas before I NEVER would have thought, "oh, lets go to St. Louis!" I will avoid the pizza though.

Atlanta is the home of Waffle House, but they are all over the southeast.

Their favorites are the City Museum, The Magic House and we are only 10 minutes from Six Flags so we have passes every year! And... the zoo - we do that several times a year. You didn't go to Grants Farm - that is another favorite.
