For a recent milestone anniversary, my husband and I decided to indulge in a stay at the upscale Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island, Ga. After all, if John Kennedy Jr. chose it for his wedding, surely it would be perfect for our anniversary. Spoiler alert: It was.

Sky Zone Atlanta area trampoline parks are a great place to go on a rainy day, to spend a day with friends, celebrate birthday parties, or just help your little ones get the wiggles out. But if you think these Georgia trampoline parks are just jumping — that would be a mistake. There are so many things to do at the Sky Zone Atlanta area parks in addition to jumping!
I love historic small towns. Most people pass through Rutledge, Georgia on their way somewhere else, but this little town is worth a stop all by itself. Here are 6 reasons you should stop in Rutledge GA for a visit!
The history of Savannah is, well, complicated. There is a history we hear most often, of a city founded in 1733 along the Savannah River, laid out in squares by founder General James Oglethorpe. But there is a whole lot more to the story of Savannah. It’s the story of the Gullah Geechee people. Before your next trip, take a moment to learn more about the Gullah Geechee Savannah GA history books have sometimes overlooked.
If you want to know where to go rock climbing, Atlanta has several indoor gyms, as well as a few outdoor bouldering locations. Not only is it a fun sport, but rock wall climbing is great exercise for kids and adults. In addition, indoor rock climbing is one of the few sports the entire family, from young children through teens and adults can do together.
Leave the modern world, and all your cares on the dock when you board the Sapelo Island Ferry, and let the wind take them into the miles of marshland you pass, to be washed out to sea with the next tide. Sapelo Island is a remote barrier island off the coast of Georgia that’s full of history, excitement, and natural beauty. Here’s everything you need to know about Sapelo Island.
What makes a resort restaurant stand out? In my mind, it’s when the locals head there too, and that is precisely the case with The Broadmoor’s restaurants. With so many options, we thought we’d break the Broadmoor restaurants down into our favorites for quick bites, casual stops, family favorites, romantic escapes, adult fun, and sweet endings. Plus we’ve added a few culinary-centered bonuses too.
Also known as the Fried Green Tomatoes restaurant, this is one of Georgia’s small-town gems, and it’s a must-visit for movie buffs and fried green tomato lovers across the United States.
Georgia State Parks camping is my favorite way to camp. I love it so much, that I have literally never camped anywhere else in Georgia! I loved the parks just as much as a camping kid, as I do now as a camping adult.
Sandestin is a glorious 2,400 acre family-friendly development located in Miramar FL w/sugar white beaches and emerald water.
Plantation State Historic Site. The Jarrell family lived and worked here for over 125 years, from 1847 into the 1960s.
A century-old favorite. In 2022 they’re celebrating their 100th anniversary! A recent visit to the historic mountain inn, located on a 35-acre lake surrounded by 1,400 acres of natural beauty and stunning mountain views, was a perfect escape, close to Atlanta, to try out my soon-to-be reality.
Have you been to Snow Mountain Ga? We love tubing at Snow Mountain within Stone Mountain Park, where every day is a snow day. You don’t have to wait for mother nature to enjoy some wintertime fun. Snow Mountain Ga is especially fun for younger kids or those who have never seen snow. It’s also fun for those Southerners who don’t normally get to play in the snow. There are lots of different activities from tubing to building snowmen to s’mores.
You don’t have to be Catholic to visit the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA. In fact, the resident monks welcome everyone, regardless of religion. What surprised me most when we visited the Monastery of the Holy Spirit was that the monastic life principles of prayer, work, silence, solitude and community, are something we all need. Here’s everything we learned during our visit to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit.
