See EVERYTHING!!! At first...

by SnowAngel

See EVERYTHING!!! At first glance there seems to be so much that you don't know how you'll ever get it all done in one vacation. But, with a little bit of planning you can see everything with time to sit on the porch and take in the cool summer breeze while sipping your glass of lemonade.
While in Columbus itself, you should take a stroll down the Chattahoochee Riverwalk and then venture up onto Broadway and check out the Coca Cola Space Science Center. See Heritage Park and visit the circle of plaques that give you historical information in a brief but detailed manner. After your finished Take a stroll down Broadway to 'old town', also known as the historic distric and take in a few live street shows while you grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee. Be sure to visit the Columbus Opera House, said to be haunted by John Wilkes Booth's brother, or take in a little culture at the Columbus Museum. Take a tour of the Civil War Naval Museum, where two Ironsides are on display. After you've finished there venture onto Fort Benning and see the three story Infantry Museum display of military weaponry, uniforms, official documents, and personal journals of Army's from around the world. If you are inclined take a drive to Callaway Gardens and view their Butterfly exhibit, or take in a horse race. Not far from there is FDR National Park. And so much more!! My fondest memory was when my family and I visited the Andersonville National Prisoner of War Museum and Fort Sumter. It was very emotional and well worth the time.
