VACATION DAY 2

After a nice sleep we awoke bright and early at 6:00pm and headed out for a brisk stroll to our complimentary breakfast buffet.  The kitchen did a wonderful job - a great selection of food! And they were able to keep it hot just the way we like it. The walk back to our room was beautiful because there was an inner courtyard and some of the trees still had their leaves on; river birch had yellow leaves.  You could hear the songbirds which have been gone from our area for a while now.

Georgia’s Welcome Center stop at noon was much needed.  We put up the table in the van and made sandwiches [a great way to save money to use on “seafood” when we get to the coast…yum!].   My husband gassed up the van in a small town and I picked out a $2 scratch lotto ticket…I lost, but I gave it a shot;)  I guess you can say I contributed to the State of Georgia’s Christmas! 

Cotton Fields look like snow.

In the middle of Atlanta, GA, near the Mill Road Exit …rambling down the interstate, looking at the scenery and watching a movie at the same time [did I mention I have the whole back of our van to myself]  I spotted a beautiful church, architecturally speaking.  Too bad I can’t get inside it; I adore looking through buildings.  As the road passes on there are more and more trees with leaves and they are just beginning to be touched with color.  Blue, blue sky with just wisps of clouds; I just couldn’t help it I had to open the window slightly to feel the cold air on me; this reminds me of October.

Just as I was finishing up my movie we pulled into our end of the day hotel in Lake Park, GA.  Good night to all and sweet dreams!

Georgia On My Mind Lyrics

Artist: Ray Charles

 

Georgia, Georgia,

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

I'm say Georgia

Georgia

A song of you

Comes as sweet and clear

As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,

Ooh Georgia, no peace I find

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back to you

Georgia,

Georgia,

No peace, no peace I find

Just this old, sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,

Keeps Georgia on my mind
