If you like destinations that have a long and interesting history, plenty to do and see, and a whole lot of soul, look no further than the state of Georgia, the peach of the South. As one of the original 13 colonies, Georgia was a military buffer between the Spanish in Florida and the British in South Carolina. Andersonville is home to the National Prisoner of War Museum where visitors can experience exhibits and artifacts from the American Civil War, and the entire state is rich in African-American culture. This is the state where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born and where his memorial, The King Center, is located. Macon’s Tubman African American Museum is also a must-see. But there’s more here than just history. In the west are the Appalachian Mountains, the oldest mountain range in the world where hikers and campers are sure to have exciting and memorable adventures. To the east are green rolling hills that lead to Georgia’s beautiful Atlantic beaches. Among the many quaint beach towns that dot the coast, you’ll also want to visit Savannah, which offers great city life right alongside the many natural wonders of the coast. You can also catch an Atlanta Braves baseball game at Turner Field to score one grand slam of an evening. Indian Springs State Park and Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge are popular destinations as well. And if that’s not enough, there are also miles of off-road trails, roaring rivers, and scenic country roads to explore. Southern cuisine is also a specialty in Georgia, where you’ll find plenty of comfort food, fresh seafood, fresh peanuts, and delicious pecan pies, to name only a few. All of this served up with a healthy dose of that famous Southern charm is sure to make anyone hungry for more. So, what are you waiting for?
