If you’re looking for RV camping near downtown Augusta, you don’t really have a lot of options outside of Heritage RV Park. So it’s lucky that it happens to be a pretty nice place. I’ll say right up front that the big caution here is that there’s no bathroom; if you’re not self-contained, you’re out […]
A Day on Tybee Island, GA
Travel date: December 29, 2016 I think our Tybee Island day was my favorite from this trip, which has me overanalyzing and trying to figure out why. And I can’t really put my finger on it–some combination of Tybee itself, the stuff we saw there, everyone’s various moods….I wouldn’t be able to replicated the experience […]
Day Two in Savannah: Old Savannah Tours
If you just can’t get enough Savannah, you can read the post about our first day here or my post on my other blog about design and architecture here. Abe is a big fan of transportation. Especially recycling trucks, school buses, mail trucks, and cement mixers, but, really, anything with wheels and a motor will […]
Skidaway Revisited, Savannah History Museum, and the Jepson Center: Our Triumphant Return to Savannah
Travel dates: December 26-27, 2016 For more about Savannah, you can check out my post on my other blog about exploring the architecture and design side of the city. Or you can read my posts about last year’s visit here, here, and here. I’m not sure our return to Savannah was really all that triumphant, […]
Four Things to Do near Vogel State Park, Blairsville, GA
In the weeks leading up to our trip to Vogel, I came up with a long list of things to do in the area. Unfortunately, I wrote it down on an actual piece of paper with an actual pencil like in olden times, and then I lost it. But then I managed to mostly reconstruct […]
A Few Days in Vogel State Park, Blairsville, GA: Campground Review
Not to get too political, but I love it when Big Government sends hundreds of thousands of unemployed young men off to build state parks for me and my family to enjoy eighty years later. Vogel State Park, on the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains and about two hours north of Atlanta, is the […]
Red Top Mountain State Park and Campground Review; or Continuation of Remains of Industry Tour: THWARTED!
As regular readers will recall, we are, it seems, on a quest to become experts on the history of the iron industry in the Southeastern United States. Or, anyway, we saw a lot of iron-related sites on our recent trip to Birmingham. And we happen to have a state park nearby that hosts an iron […]
Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip: The Final Installment!
I can’t put it off any longer; it’s time to put our Savannah trip firmly in the past and then look forward to this year’s trips. At least some of which, I’m sure, will be just as fabulous as our Savannah trip was. This post is going to be a bit of a catch all: […]
Wormsloe Historic Site: Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip
I started feeling some blogging angst about how to divide up these last posts about our Savannah trip. Should I keep giving a whole new post to each place we went?! Is that overkill? Or does it make it easier for anyone out there looking for information on a particular place to find it? Does […]
Fort Pulaski National Monument and Tybee Island, briefly: Savannah/Coastal Georgia Trip
On our second full day staying at Skidaway Island, we visited Fort Pulaski National Monument and then spent a little time hanging out with some friends who happened to be spending Thanksgiving week on Tybee Island. Apparently coastal Georgia is THE place to go for places where you can let your pack of children run […]
