This Tuesday's travel blog spotlights some of our upcoming travel. I am going to Atlanta for a work seminar, which starts the Monday after Thanksgiving. Some very dear friends of mine live in Alabama- only about an hour and a half from the airport.
When I was going to school at Wesleyan College in Macon, GA, I was able to visit their farm several times. It's such an awesome place and I am looking forward to taking H to explore some of the great South. So much so that it's #62 on our list of 101 to go for a visit to the farm. It's been in her family since it was purchased from the Indians, and she's kept detailed records of the history of the property through the Civil War to the present.
We plan on doing a small gathering with our family on Thanksgiving day, probably breakfast and then heading to the airport. We should arrive at the farm just in time for a big hearty, home-cooked Southern Thanksgiving meal.
For me, this is mostly a trip to the country. For long walks through the woods at sunset. For catching a glimpse of a wild deer or some turkey. For rocking on the front porch and listening to the crickets at night. Sort of like the joys of camping, but without roughing it.
Hopefully on our way back up to Atlanta on Sunday afternoon, we're going to stop into Callaway Gardens and check out the beautiful park. My political-science, history nut husband will probably also want to stop at FDR's Little White House.
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: FALL IS FINALLY HERE IN HOUSTON!
