Skyview Atlanta

Grandpa Jon and Grandma Terry came into town to visit. We were so excited to see them! We took them right to the place the kids have been dying to go to....Skyview Atlanta -- a 200-foot high, skyscraping Ferris wheel.

It has moved around to from Paris (located across the street from the Louvre Museum) and Switzerland, and then on to the United States via Pensacola, spending about 16 months in each location. But it is now settling in Atlanta. EU8C9528 This is a good picture showing you how close ParkBar is to the wheel, and to CNN which is in the upper right corner. Mat and I still work just steps from each other :-) EU8C9529 EU8C9531 Each gondola holds up to six people, climate control cars—which were cool and comfortable on the hot day we visited. As the wind picked up a bit, our car swayed, which was the cause of M & M's reaction here. EU8C9534 EU8C9536 EU8C9537 EU8C9533 EU8C9542 EU8C9544
