Table Rock State Park hiking

By
On July 9th, my parents, my sister Hanna, Josh and I went to Table Rock State Park in Pickens, SC. This was only around a 2 hour drive from my hometown of Elberton, GA so it's a close park to do some great hiking!



At the beginning/end of the trails, there was a wonderful place to wade in the mountain stream and play in the small waterfalls! It was empty when we started around 8 am but when we finished several hours later, this spot was packed with children and families trying to keep cool from the summer heat!



Josh took tons of pictures! He's a great photographer!!



We decided to hike the Table Rock Trail which was described as being "highly strenuous" :) It was difficult at times especially when climbing over huge boulders but it was manageable for our entire group!


I always think the view at the top is well worth the hike to get there! This was a great day to hike because it was so clear! You could see for miles!!


I liked this picture of my dad!!



July isn't the best month to go hiking in South Carolina or anywhere in the south but we sweated and we survived!

Steamboat Natchez

By
Next time you are in New Orleans, you should ride on the last steamboat on the Mississippi River- the Natchez. It's a wonderful experience for all ages! The cruise lasts for 2 hours and take you down the Mississippi while providing information about area. Our cruise narrator told us about the levee system, cargo imports and exports, hurricane damages, even old battle grounds and the old Jackson Barracks! A unique view of Jackson Square on the top and New Orleans at the bottom! Visit Steamboat Natchez for more information and reservations!!

Potato Blossom Festival- Fort Fairfield, Maine

By
For the weekend of July 15-17 of this year I was able to experience the Maine Potato Blossom Festival! It was so much fun!! There were all of your typical festival activities like crafts, festival food carts, a 5K race, and a parade, but there were also events that I hadn't seen before like a human chess game (I was the white queen!) and a canoe race (couldn't take my camera along because the Saunders boys would have soak it). I was only able to take pictures during the parade but hopefully this gives you a snapshot of all of the fun that the festival had in store for us! The Saunders family loves watching the parade! There were tractors galore!! The governor of Maine, Paul LePage and a senator, Olympia Snowe walked in the parade! (In this picture, the governor had just darted to the left to shake more hands) and yes he shook my hand too! Matt wasn't as lucky :( But those clowns loved Matt! You can let that he was loving this picture too!! I liked this ne...

Atlanta, GA

By
Of course I'm going to be biased towards any trip to Georgia because it's my home and it's amazing, but this particular trip was tons of fun. Josh and I took a day trip to Atlanta and went to the Georgia Aquarium, CNN Center and an Atlanta Braves game all in one day! The Aquarium in Atlanta is supposed to be the largest indoor aquarium in the world. They are the only aquarium that has whale sharks outside of Asia. They also have beluga whales, great hammerhead sharks, manta rays, and about 100,000 other fish! The aquarium is broken down into exhibits like River Scout or Ocean Voyager. They also have a few touch pools where you can touch stingrays, baby hammerhead sharks, horseshoe crabs and anemones. The penguin exhibit was my favorite for sure. It's newly designed so that you can crawl through a tunnel with the penguins swimming around you...They liked Josh's hat...and then you can stand up in a bubble in the exhibit! That's how I was so close to them in my pic...
