Hey tourists-welcome to Atlanta! If you’re coming in the summer, it’s going to be hot, but we’ll still be friendly. One of the places that you’ll most certainly visit is the World of Coca-Cola. Being a local this was one of the last attractions that I visited in the city. However, the more I visit, the more I enjoy it and the Explorer app that they’ve release will help visitors regardless if it’s your first or fifth visit.

Our family vacations at Hilton Head Island some summers. It’s a great place to relax, but one thing that has always been lacking is another place to eat and drink where you can see the water or go on the beach. The Beach House near Coligny Plaza was that one place, it’s still is great and we’ll go there again. However, the Sea Pines Beach Club has just reopened, having undergone an 18 million dollar renovation and contrary to some tourists on Hilton Head Island, it’s open to the public.

Five years ago the NYC Dads Group started organizing events for dads all around New York City. They had events at museums, movies, pools, bars and any other places that guys like to have fun. Over the years other city groups popped up in Boston, Chicago, Albuquerque, Columbus, Denver, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Last month the Atlanta Dads Group made their debut and has already had a couple of events out to movies, parks, mountain bike rides, museums and have more coming up.

Planes is the kind of direct to DVD workhorse that most studios would love to have. In this case, as in the first Planes, it goes to theaters for a week or two and will be out on DVD in two months. It’s not a slam to say direct to DVD. However, it’s not at the same Frozen level of quality that families expect from the brand. Disney will make about 200 million in theaters and push it out on DVD. With all this in mind, Planes: Fire and Rescue is better than the first movie and has some genuine laughs in it.

The Guardians of the Galaxy are hot now. Super hot. We caught 17 minutes of the movie the other week and it is a new classic. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy has been our favorite comic for the past year. They’re appearing in Silver Surfer this month and it only makes sense that Star Lord and Rocket Raccoon get their own comic.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens is something I could have used as a kid. There was very little direction in my house and I just drifted from class to class in high school. If you pictured my life as The Breakfast Club, I was Brian. The difference was, while he got too much direction and pressure from his parents, I didn’t get enough. It doesn’t sound that bad – but it wreaks havoc with your confidence.
