Oakland Cemetery

I've been before but it is still one of the best places to visit in the city, and an excellent place to bring guests from out of town.  When my mom and sister came to visit they knew they wanted to stop by Oakland Cemetery for a visit.

Sweetwater Creek State Park

Just to the west of Atlanta lies Sweetwater Creek State Park.  A natural, historical, and cultural conservation area that boasts a long and storied history; the ruins of which can still be seen in the state park.

After being told my dog Max and I had to be out of the apartment for 8 hours while they fixed my tub I decided it was the perfect time to go on a little exploratory hiking adventure through the Georgia wilderness.  So we packed a lunch and hit the road to Sweetwater Creek State Park.

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.

Atlanta History Center: Smith Family Farm

Since I had never been and neither had they my grandparents and I decided as part of their visit on their last day in town to make a trip over to the Atlanta History Center to check out what they had to offer. And actually they have quite a bit to offer.

The History Center is on a plot of land that consists of a nature trail, an historic farm, The Swan House and the History Museum itself and also includes the Margret Mitchell House (of Gone With the Wind fame) which is located at a separate location in Midtown, but you have 10 days to use your passes to visit.
