Kids and adults alike will love a night out in Atlanta where they can catch a night of entertainment at the Fox Theatre and a fun and delicious meal at The Melting Pot in the heart of midtown.

My nephew and I enjoyed seeing “Annie” at the Fox on Saturday, after a fun dinner of fondue at The Melting Pot. “Annie” was the first play I saw at the Fox more than 30 years ago, so it was fun to experience it with Jake.

We started our three-course meal at The Melting Pot off with a wonderful spinach and artichoke cheese fondue. It’s a perfect choice for the younger ones, as well as being a favorite of adults. The spinach and artichokes mix well with the three blended cheeses. For dipping, the offerings include Granny Smith apples, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli, three kinds of bread and tortilla chips. The creamy goodness of the cheese dip works well with everything and you have to pace yourself not to get full before the next course arrives. [Full Story »]

A charming Southern town filled with German culture with a Texas twist makes a great vacation destination for North Georgians looking for a fun get-away. Located a one-hour drive from San Antonio, Fredericksburg, is in the heart of Texas Hill Country with its scenic beauty and rolling countryside.

Fredericksburg is rich with the culture of the Germans who settled in the area and formed the town 160 years ago. The food, crafts, architecture, music and history of Germany is found throughout the town and is one of the reasons visitors keep returning to explore the area.

Begin your trip with a stop at the Fredericksburg Visitors Center, which offers lots of brochures on area attractions, dining and lodging, as well as friendly staff to answer your questions and make suggestions on how to best explore the area. [Full Story »]
