Hiking in the mountains, along the AT. Helen is a touristy little German village in NE GA. Dahlonaga is also nice, military college there, lots of places to hike, mountain bike, camp.<br><br>
Hike Brasstown Bald - highest point in GA, I think you can see 5 states from the top or something like that.<br><br>
If it's warm enough, you could go rafting on the Chatahootche River (shoot the hootch!).<br><br>
Stone Mtn is a nice day trip I think. It's been years since I've been there. There's an indoor ice skating rink.<br><br>
Zoo Atlanta is also worthwhile. The High Museum of Art is too, if you are into that sort of thing.<br><br>
I grew up in Gainesville, (45 min NE of Atlanta) so this is bringing back memories!<br><br>
Edited to add: you also aren't far from Chatanooga, TN - AWESOME aquarium there, really top notch. It's a beautiful drive, too. I'm sure I'll think of other things.<br><br>
Lake Lanier - if there's still water in it! - lots to do on the lake. Rent a pontoon boat and cruise the family around all day. There's a water park somewhere near Buford, can't remember exactly, but if you google Lake Lanier, you'll find it.
