For the thanksgiving holidays 11/22/2012 - 11/25/2012.
We decided to visit Atlanta, Georgia.
There were 3 families involved, We coordinated to meet in Atlanta. We rented a house through a site called VRBO. We also rented a van that can accomodate all 6 of us. Typical in Tabra fashion we had all the required foods, and some ingredients required to make tabra foods. We are all vegetarians and taste conscious, and have known each other for 30 years.
We decided to have continental breakfast as a stand by, but of course we made upma, pongal etc.
On 23rd we visited the BAPS Swaminarayan Temple. This temple is very large and absolutely beautiful.
Having been involved with this group I knew what to expect, but this temple beats all expectations. They have a wonderful kitchen and dining area serving vegetarian Gujarati foods. We stocked up on snacks and sweets to bring back home.
In the evening we went to a lovely dinner at Udipi cafe, again a vegetarian only place.
On 24th after the morning shopping and playing the tourist to see Coca-Cola factory, CNN tours etc. We had our lunch at some local restaurant.
In the evening we went to visit the Atlanta Hindu Temple.
This is a majority south Indian Temple with gopuram like south Indian temple, but inside you have amalgamation of North and south moorties. We had grand darshan of the entire facility. We had good dinner in the Temple dining hall.

25th morning we all departed to our own homes.
Overall it was a wonderful trip.
