Robbie Allen took his wife, two kids and his mother down to Atlanta to ride the SkyView, the new giant Ferris Wheel that rises 200 feet into the air. His mother and one of the kids were a little hesitant about going up so high. But he says they all survived in good spirits and had a great time. The ride was smooth whether you were going up or going down and they found it easy to move around to see from all sides in the gondola. He recommends the trip as a fun thing to do for Halloween.
This is a great time of the year for open air markets selling flowers, decorations and fall vegetables such as pumpkins and squash. Be sure to check out these markets in several cities –Snellville, Lilburn, Lawrenceville, and Loganville and Grayson. The vegetables make nice decorative displays and they are so good to eat and so good for you.
