Georgia on my mind

Last weekend we went to Georgia for five days.  

It was my first time being in the Deep South.  And it was a totally different world that I loved getting to know.  

Favorite highlights:
1. Autumn in Georgia- the temperature, the trees, the changing leaves, the Fall Festivals in the country. 
2. The macaroni and cheese- and all the other comfort food- waffles, BBQ and grits. 
3. Seeing three states in 45 minutes
4. The houses! - actual residences that looked as if they were peeled out of magazines and the fancy old plantations and farm houses that we got to tour. 
5.  The Patriotism- and no fear love for God.
