Plans for My Trip to Atlanta in October of 2009

So I have yet to travel the world, and at the beginning of the year I made a goal to go to New York, sometime within the year. My cousin just moved to Atlanta, and would like to go to New York As well. So I decided to stop in Atlanta for a week before we head to New York City. But what is there to do in Atlanta? What is Atlanta all about? I don't drink, I don't do clubs, and for some that can be boring, but there is so much more to do than drinking and clubbing. These are some of the fun things I plan to do on my trip.
