GVA Field Trip - MLK Visitor Center and King Center

Today we had a field trip with Amelia's "teacher" from her school -

The Georgia Virtual Academy...

Each month we have a group field trip with the other members of her "class" - it is always great to get out of the house and meet others involved in this program and learn some interesting facts about the Atlanta area...

Today we visited the Martin Luther King Jr Visitor Center and the King Center...such a fascinating place!
