A short drive north of Atlanta is the small town of Marietta. We drove up to see some of Joel’s family and discovered a really cute town. Downtown features a town square with shops and restaurants all around it, and very friendly people.
Nearby is the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield. The 2,923-acre (11.8 km2) battlefield includes the site of some of the heaviest fighting of the Atlanta Campaign of the Civil War.
Not too far from Kennesaw is another National Park site, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Sandy Springs, GA. The Chattahoochee River itself is one of Georgia’s premier trout streams. Next to the visitor center is a very short, easy trail down to the river.
