Georgia

The state of Georgia is a favorite destination for our family, so much so that we bought property there! Georgia holds an interesting history, beautiful coastlines, and more southern charm than you can shake a stick at.
If you are planning a long weekend in Savannah to indulge in shopping, eating, and touring, we can give you the scoop on all the best places to visit. Or, if you want to road trip around the mountains or kayak the coast, we have mapped all the best spots to add to your journey.
Georgia has so much to offer both nature lovers and city folks. Our kids love visiting the Atlanta Aquarium and museums. We are planning a second trip to go tubing in Helen, Georgia, and our family visits Savannah as often as possible since it is one of our favorite US cities!
We have so many surprising recommendations we love to share in this great state, that you will have an easy time planning your southern trip. Looking to hit the beaches? Tybee and St. Simons Island are a must-see and have excellent spots for Kayaking or SUP boarding! Want to take your family to watch the fall leaves change, hike along waterfalls, or take the gondola sky ride up Stone Mountain? We have an itinerary for each that will not disappoint.
Check out our stories from this southern icon, and let us know if we can help find the place in Georgia that most appeals to you!
