Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta is a pretty cool place. Behind the museum proper, they have a series of trails and boardwalks. I had to battle swarming bees to get to this place, but it was an interesting view of some old architecture and new.
Every July 4 in the US requires red, white, and blue fireworks. This display was in Woodstock. While it was not the most comfortable, the rain cleared out just in time and it wasn’t too bad getting to sit in the back of the van and watch.
Purely by accident did I run across this cannon demonstration. I decided to take the kids for a short hike on Kennesaw Mountain Labor Day weekend. As I got the little one in his backpack carrier, they announced the demonstration. I wish they had fired the cannon more than twice. This was the second. Man was it loud too. I think the boy is a future tanker or artillery man. All he wanted to say after this was “Cannon” and “Boom Crash”.
Having someone with local knowledge is tons of fun. Especially in a city like Savannah. There were so many stories that I could not remember them all. At least I got the location right for this one. I think my guide said something about this place being haunted, but I remember that about all the places we went.
A short hike around Vogel State Park brings you to this waterfall. The best view is from the base of the falls, but it is easily visible from the road driving near the park.
A couple years ago, I was able to take a stroll through the Montgomery Zoo. This white tiger strolled over and plopped itself down right in front of me. I think it may have been trained to pose for photos.
So, the past couple of years has been quite busy. Between the boy (and girls) and work, I have been slammed. I haven’t stopped making memories, I just haven’t had the time to process and post them. I hope to get that going again.
