Hey there, fellow history enthusiasts! Kris and I recently embarked on an adventure that took us back in time, deep into the heart of ancient Egypt. Our destination? The captivating "Tutankhamun: His Tomb and His Treasures" exhibition at the Atlanta Art Center in Doraville.
Kris, a long-time fan of all things Egyptian, has always been fascinated by the mysteries of the pyramids, the enchantment of the Valley of the Kings, and the legends of pharaohs. He's even dreamt of visiting Egypt someday. So, when we heard about this extraordinary exhibition, there was no way we could resist the temptation to explore it together.
Turning it into a date night was a brilliant idea. We got a sitter for the kids, hopped in the car, and headed to Doraville. The Atlanta Art Center was less than a 45-minute drive from our home in West Cobb, making it a convenient and exciting outing.

One of the smartest decisions we made was to grab the audio guide. It provided us with rich insights into the history and significance of the artifacts on display. It was like having our personal Egyptologist right there with us, unraveling the mysteries of Tutankhamun's tomb.
