Since you were in the Navy, you might enjoy the Confederate Naval Museum in Columbus. The Confederate Navy used a fair number of river gunboats, and they have salvaged one from the Chattahoochee River. It’s a small museum, but well worth seeing.

About 30 minutes south of Columbus is Providence Canyon State Park, erroneously called by locals the “little Grand Canyon”. It’s nothing like the Grand Canyon because in the south there’s so many trees and plants, but it’s worth seeing. Put on your hiking boots. I went this year and referred to it as the “poor man’s stress test”. Of course, because the State of Georgia is crying poverty, there’s probably not going to be any staff available.

Thanks to your son for serving our country.
