Atlanta is a wonderful place to be during the summertime. It's festival season, so it seems like there's always a special event every weekend. The Braves are in full swing (wow...that was awful), so that's always a fun way to spend the day. And of course, I'm excited to make some new traditions in our new suburban surroundings. My favorite local tradition is actually just a bit outside of Atlanta...believe it or not, it's in Athens.
My favorite summer tradition takes place in Athens at a little place called the Sandbar. The Sandbar is a kayak rental facility on the Broad River, just about an hour and a half east of Atlanta.
A couple of years ago, my husband and I kayaked down the river with some couple friends. We had so much fun, we decided to invite a few more friends. We took our third trip down the river last weekend, so I think it's officially a tradition now!
Believe it or not, I wasn't always outdoorsy. Outdoor adventures in South Florida are great when there's a beach involved, but otherwise it's just a lot of humidity and love bugs. Besides, I'm Irish and therefore it's ingrained in my DNA to be afraid of the sun! I couldn't help but get caught up in nature once I moved here, though. The beach isn't too far away, but mountains and trails and rivers and lakes are much closer, and I've enjoyed exploring those environments. Kayaking has become one of my new favorite hobbies, and I look forward to this particular trip every year!
