North Georgia Parks and Waterfalls
Not too long ago, my family and I took a trip to North Georgia to spend time near some of the many parks situated in the Georgia-North Carolina region. On our first day in the area, we headed to Stone Mountain Park. While the park features many sites, on this day we planned on hiking to the top since it was already in the late afternoon.

Tubing on the Delaware River
With temperatures reaching season highs these past few weeks, I think it might be safe to say many of us found ourselves by the water, whether that’d be the pool, lake, beach or a simple bucket and hose in the backyard.
Finding My Adventurous Side
I’ve always been more of a spectator than a participant. I’m not sporty or very coordinated, so I often bow out of activities that require any sort of athletic ability. I can’t swim, so that rules out a slew of fun things to do in tropical locales. I often find myself sitting on the sidelines, just observing my husband and daughter while they enjoy thrilling adventures. And I have never minded before. I loved watching them snorkel from my beach lounge chair in Riviera Maya, Mexico. I laughed from the safety of our boat as they did flips off a water trampoline in the Finger Lakes. Over the years, I became the designated photographer, trying to get a good shot of them on a roller coaster, while I held drinks and bags firmly on the ground at HersheyPark in Pennsylvania. I dutifully took photos of my husband as he hung awkwardly upside down to kiss the Blarney Stone in Ireland. I have taken LOTS of photos on many trips!

Fun and Games at Ignite
I grew up in an era of video game arcades. My friends and I spent many hours and quarters attempting to defeat Pac-Man, Space Invaders and all the others. Video games and arcades have come a long way since then.
