You can take her shopping at some exclusive stores in Phipps - which is in Buckhead.

The aquarium there is exceptional. Could be a relaxing half day contrast to the track day.
They even have a whale shark in the main tank. My nephew did the experence day a little while back and really enjoyed it. Have fun, and let us know how it goes for you. Cheers Richard |

World of Coke is right around the corner from the aquarium if you opt for that.

Make sure you request a window seat at 356.
There is always shopping. The aquarium is nice. The botanical gardens are great and the restaurant there for lunch is pretty good. Have fun!!

Do good on the skid pad and your instructor may let you onto the small twisty track in the back - it was lots of fun until got myself sick! Lets just say I'm no racing driver, although I blame the launch control/slalom section for getting me sick. I clipped a cone on the slalom and we had to open the door to fix it - burnt rubber smell permeated the car and got me going. Then after 20 or so loops on the skidpad then 3 laps around the little technical track and I was done.
Lots of fun though - you will have a blast. I drove the Carrera s PDK and was super impressed, made me realize how much better the car could perform VS. my skill level as a driver. I'm pretty good, but that car is way better then I am  I think they just changed the display cars this week too, lots of cool stuff in the museum! Have fun~
