The car I drive is never something that I’ve worried about too much; as long as it gets me from point A to B. My father has the car bug, that desire to get the newest, latest vehicle that can do things slightly better than last year’s model. He didn’t pass that gene to me. I am however, into the weird and creative. Dream Cars, the new exhibit this summer at the High Museum of Art is an art exhibit for gear heads, surrealists, engineers and pop culture people.

Hey tourists-welcome to Atlanta! If you’re coming in the summer, it’s going to be hot, but we’ll still be friendly. One of the places that you’ll most certainly visit is the World of Coca-Cola.

If you’re a parent think of Christmas morning or some other time when you child receives gifts that might require big boxes. After they rip the present open, yell at the gift and then play with it, what do they do? They play with the box. The bigger the box the better. If they can sit in the box or roll their toy cars through that’s awesome too. Think Outside the Box is the new exhibit at Children’s Museum of Atlanta and is boxes, boxes and more.

I was priming my wife with all manner of questions about how to describe it. Some of her friends said coo, while other said have fun. Regardless, I knew that she was going with me to be with the boys, which was fine with me. Our child’s first comic con happened when they were 4 and 2, so I knew that they wouldn’t remember much, but I certainly wanted them to have fun. Here are some tips that we learned during our child’s first comic con.
Oh, even though ours was a comic con, the same basic tips can be carried over to a baseball card show or any other fan conference.
