What to do and see in Georgia, Georgia: The Best Mysterious Sites
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

The general historical consensus has been that John Henry “Doc” Holliday was buried in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The dentist-turned-gunslinger definitely died there (in 1887, from tuberculosis), and he was, at least initially, lowered into a grave. But there are a whole lot of people – his own descendants among them – who hold onto a different truth. He may be resting exactly where he was born –

This was our first visit but it will not be our last, from the moment we were greeted, we knew this was going to be a great experience. We were introduced to Craig the GM who made sure every aspect of our night was perfect. The entire staff observed and maintained appropriate COVID protocols putting us at ease as we had drinks in the downstairs bar and then were shown our table in the Club Room of the restaurant. Chris was our waiter for the evening and is absolutely knowledgeable about the entire menu and wine list as he is a culinary student himself, he steered us to the best fried chicken we have ever had! It is a must try as it is marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce but it’s mild flavor is delightful. The fried pork chop is equally as flavorful and served with an awesome side of mac and cheese and collards that is best described as a southern delicacy. The wine list is comprised of some great favorites at a reasonable markup. We went with the Belle Glos Pinot and were not disappointed. The entire experience was 5 stars and we look forward to our next visit to try some of the other local fare on the menu.

We enjoyed the hunt to find all of the tree spirits. Wish there were plaques nearby to talk about the artist or maybe story behind each one. Nice photo ops while we explored the island!
