Decatur Lantern Parade

The week my mom and sister were visiting we were lucky enough that it happened to fall around the same time as the Decatur Lantern Parade.

A community event prefaced by a month of workshops throughout Decatur for residents to make their own lanterns and participate in the lantern parade.

The results were a night of whimsy and fun in downtown Decatur.

Fort Pierce Farmer's Market

One more post for the category of 'things to do in Fort Pierce'! On the last weekend I was home on winter break we headed down to the Fort Pierce Farmer's Market, a weekly event held on Saturday mornings in Downtown Fort Pierce right on the river featuring local produce, food and other goods sold by local businesses.

Endless Summer Winery

What better way to top off Christmas than by topping off your wine glass?  At least this is my family's train of thought.  After a quiet holiday we decided the best way to spend the Sunday after Christmas at our local winery.

Endless Summer Winery is a laid-back, loosely beach themed winery that opened a few years ago only a few minutes away from my parent's house in Florida.

Autumn in the North Georgia Mountains

You may remember that recently I was visited by my grandparents as part of a stop on a road trip up to the mountains to see some fall colors and scenery. Well, last week I was visited by my parents also looking to spy some fall color and partake in various traditional fall festivities.

 You may be noticing a pattern here.

 Well, let me tell you, for people from Florida, in order to be aware that fall exists outside of a slightly less hot pumpkin flavored summer that is punctuated by children sweating through costumes you actually have to leave the state. 

So onward they come to the Great White North of Georgia!
