#FamilyTrippin' to Georgia Part 1
Last week of June 2017
When I was a wee little mademoiselle my parents would take my sister and me to the tiny town of Dillard, Georgia for summer vacations. Now that we have families of our own this was the summer that my parents offered to take us all to The Dillard House Inn for a few days to visit. On the way up to north Georgia we spent a little time exploring Atlanta, Stone Mountain and Tallulah Gorge. This is my documented discovery of the literal highs and lows of our family trippin'.
Day 1 - Drove from St. Petersburg, FL to our Airbnb in the Storehouse Lofts (The Enclave at Castleberry) in a sketchy part of Atlanta, but wow the space inside the building was the ultimate bachelor pad! All four of us loved staying in the one bedroom, spacious, brick room that resembled a New Girl set times 10. The only mentionable pit stop was Magnolia Plantation in Lenox, GA. Typical gas stop with clean restrooms and an added bonus of Georgia pecan logs, cheap fountain drinks, and t-shirts. That night we went to The Varsity (61 North Ave. NW at Spring St. NW) to eat some dive type dinner food. There was a MLS Atlanta United FS soccer game that night that had just ended nearby so the place was packed out. I ate "the best" slaw dog ever that night!
After dinner we strolled through Centennial Olympic Park nearby and enjoyed the open air. Finished out the night with an ice cream cone from Googie in the park (suspiciously similar in signage to the larger than life search-engine conglomerate Google).
Day 2 - soon to follow...
