A Home Away From Home

Have you ever wondered why life seems to "pile up" where it doesn't seem to matter how hard you try to get a project done, you are met square in the face with yet five more projects calling out to you, waiting to be completed?  On top of the projects, you have the daily activities of making enough time for your spouse, running the kids to their sporting events, making sure the dog isn't starving, and, if you are truly lucky, completing one of the seven piles of laundry that came out of thin air. How is it even possible to just get away, even for a day?

 

The answer: you just do it!  There comes a time when you must drop the grind and take a moment, a day for yourself and for your family.  AND I have a secret for you... the world will keep spinning! The secret is out! Too often people don't take time for themselves or their families and it pays.  We stop exercising and we start eating junk food because it's just "easier" and faster.

However, there is a solution for you. Amidst the hubbub of the day, take time for YOU. Pack up a picnic basket for yourself and your family and head out to your local State Park. Not only is it an affordable hot-spot, you'll enjoy some of creations greatest beauties.  Each Georgia State Park is packed with hiking trails and activities for the whole family. Grab a football, some bats and balls and make a day of it!   You are certain to feel right at home, or almost; you may find yourself more relaxed than what you are use to at home.

If it's camping, hiking, biking, golfing, birdwatching, exploring, fishing, boating, or swimming, you will not be disappointed in what Georgia State Parks has to offer. Spring is here so get out and have some fun!  Take the winter blues off and enjoy an afternoon, a day, or a weekend with friends or family and you'll find yourself experiencing much needed rejuvenation at your new, relaxing home away from home.
