While we love traveling all over the world to experience new cultures, food, and landscapes, we also believe it’s important to explore your local area! Especially here in Georgia, there are so many things to see and do within a short drive. Whether it’s a weekend at the beach or in the mountains, or a day trip to go hiking and geocaching in our state parks, there is always fun to be had!
Here’s our rundown on some of the fun things to do in Georgia, and a little video to enjoy how we explore our home state!

Very nice video. I’m impressed. I love Georgia, but we tend to only go to Atlanta. I’ve been meaning to explore my Cherokee heritage in North Georgia, though.
Thanks Lance! Yeah, being from the Pacific Northwest originally, I miss mountains and the wilderness! So I really love going up to the North Georgia mountains for hiking and camping. Some great waterfalls up there and really great river tubing (even for the younger kiddos!). We’ve been all over – let us know if you are ever in town or looking for recommendations!
