Wandering Wednesdays IV - Red Top Mountain



Well, almost two whole months later, and I'm back with another blog post to add to the ever growing (and slowly developing) Wandering Wednesdays series.

Keeping up with the "spur of the moment hiking tradition," this trip to Red Top Mountain on May 3rd was pleasantly unexpected. It was an absolutely gorgeous day outside, a rarity in Georgia during May, so we decided to go on an adventure. Below are some snappies of the sights we saw.

Enjoy!

Jamison got all photographer-y.


How gorgeous is this cabin?

I think it's worth mentioning that we got lost not once, but twice during this hiking trip. Turns out Red Top is a pretty big mountain. Word to the wise - always keep track of the markings in the trees that were purposefully painted there to help hikers remember which path they're on.

The end.

Wandering Wednesdays III - Sunsets



Welcome to Darling Simplicity's third post in its newest blog series Wandering Wednesdays!

Due to the sudden pollen attack over the past week and a half in Georgia, I haven't been able to visit anywhere spectacular... unless you count running to Walmart to grab some popsicles to soothe my throat "spectacular."
I do have a couple exciting places I plan to visit in the upcoming weeks however but for now, I've decided to write this post about an adventure I had about a month ago.

Jamison spontaneously called me one late afternoon/early evening and said, "Hey, what are you doing right now?" I told him that I was about to leave school and he enthusiastically instructed me to grab my camera and that he was going to take me somewhere. Naturally, I was excited (and so thrilled to see that he shared my enthusiasm for taking pictures of things), and rushed home to grab my camera. Once he got to my house, we hopped into the car and were on our way.

A few questions (about where we were going), and moments later, we arrived at our destination. It's a little bridge near my house that crosses over a lake. You're able to park on either side of it and get out of your car to "sightsee" (I guess). Anyway, this was what we saw.

Enjoy!



Thank you so much for reading! Hopefully I'll have more exciting things to share with you in the near future.
