Smithsonian Channel Aerial America: Southwest Collection takes five of the programs that aired on the Smithsonian Channel and puts them on Blu-ray. Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado are featured in this DVD. It is presented in full widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and 5.1 digital surround sound. I’m no audiophile, but all that adds up to a gorgeous picture and immersive sound.

The car I drive is never something that I’ve worried about too much; as long as it gets me from point A to B. My father has the car bug, that desire to get the newest, latest vehicle that can do things slightly better than last year’s model. He didn’t pass that gene to me. I am however, into the weird and creative. Dream Cars, the new exhibit this summer at the High Museum of Art is an art exhibit for gear heads, surrealists, engineers and pop culture people.

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.
