About this title

Synopsis

Thirty-two great minivacations take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city:

Be tempted to dip your toes in the numerous fountains of Columbus, see the birthplace of the man who invented Coca-Cola, and be awed by Pasquan - a four-acre complex filled with flamboyantly painted walls, pagodas, and outdoor sculptures on the Fountains, Fizz, and Fantasy escapes.

Walk across the world's longest pedestrian bridge, take a ride on the legendary Chattanooga Choo Choo, and see a 145-foot underground waterfall on the Crossroads Then and Now escape.

Visit a primitive log house built in the early nineteenth century, wander through a town that is a stunning recreation of a Bavarian village, and admire the smallest covered bridge in Georgia on the Georgia's Little Germany escape.

You will find all this as well as detailed route maps, travel directions, destination highlights, activities for morning, afternoon, and evening, information on choice restaurants, picnic sites, lodgings, special events, festivals shopping and local sources of information.
