HAMPTON While idyllic Downtown Hampton offers the opportunity to pick up some vacation reads at Speakeasy Bookstore, award-winning homemade ice cream at Welcome Home Creamery & Coffee and craft beer in a laid-back setting at Camp Brewing Company, just a few miles away sits a thrill-seeker’s dream. The 850-acre Atlanta Motor Speedway is a virtual playground of opportunities with the Bobby Ore Motorsports Stunt Driving School, track tours and annual NASCAR races and Monster Jam. Across the street at the Atlanta Speedway Airport, book a seat in a Vietnam-era Huey or Cobra for the ride of your life at the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. If you want a bird’s-eye view, but at a slower pace, check out South Atlanta Helicopter’s one-hour tours. STOCKBRIDGE When you want to kick back and take time to recharge, head to Stockbridge where a private couples massage or a romantic dinner by the lake awaits at Stockbridge Lakes Bed & Breakfast. If nature is your therapy, visit Panola Mountain State Park and book a Sunset Mountain hike. If music mellows you, check out the lineup of concerts at the Stockbridge Amphitheater. Stroll the Downtown Stockbridge main street and stop in BarnBeautiful for unique, handcrafted barnwood furniture and home decor and browse the gallery for local art. For a bite of delicious history, travel down Martin Luther King, Sr. Heritage Trail to the Green Front Café. After more than 50 years since it first opened, this restaurant is again serving up southern staples, now with a Jamaican twist. MCDONOUGH When it’s thrills you seek for the little ones, McDonough offers SkyZone Trampoline Park, Urban Air Adventure Park and Starlite Family Fun Center. Southern Belle Farm can deliver on the thrills for the little ones and chill for the adults. Berry picking, homemade ice cream and desserts, kids’ activities and even racing pigs in the fall are just some of their offerings. Looking for a quiet day by the lake? Head to Nash Farm Park with your fishing pole to enjoy the quiet beauty of this 204-acre park. Heritage Park offers not only shaded trails, but also an opportunity to soak in some history at the Heritage Park Veterans Museum. Be sure to ask one of the veterans who volunteer for a tour for the best experience! No matter your vacation style, enjoy it in Henry County where everything is #BetterExplored .
