Nickelodeon Parents' Pick for Best Local Blog in AtlantaA friend once told me she was surprised I could keep this blog going for over a year. “I would have thought you’d run out of things to write about,” she said. Well I am continually amazed at how many cool, fun things there are to do in Atlanta. I’m even more amazed that there are so many free and inexpensive things to do.
Here is a fantastic list of free and inexpensive summer activities for families from Amy Ryan and Amy Rice. We’ve reviewed many of these activities on this blog, so if you want a little more info, use the search box on the right column of the blog to find the post. There are also several videos we’ve reviewed at www.youtube.com/suerodman.
Thank you to Brandi Diamond, Pam Hansen, Patty Harris and Jaime Lackey who forwarded the Amy’s email to me. As summer begins, be sure to tell your family, friends and caregivers to subscribe (it’s FREE) to Field Trips with Sue via email, or Facebook and follow @suerodman on twitter for fun activities throughout the summer.
Sue I love your blog! Not only does it cut down on the time I spend researching for places for my family to go, it is also quite an insightful resource for the students & teachers I work with at school. I love going on field trips whether with my own kids or the ones at school. Kids really do learn best by involving all the senses and field trips related to curriculum can evoke a dramatic effect which is the “joy in learning”.
Thank you for the shout out, Sue! I love all these great ideas from the Amys, and have been using your site a lot this summer already! Thanks so much!
Shawn, Thanks so much for your note. It made my day.
Brandi, Thanks for sending me the email. It’s a really great list.
I’m so glad both of you find FTWS useful and fun. I love doing it. Please send me any suggestions of great places you find on your adventures.
