Veranda B & B in Senoia, Georgia
On Labor Day Weekend we met up with our old Bible Study Group - 3 other couples we've maintained a great friendship with for 36 years! We live in 3 different places now. One of the other couples planned this trip to Senoia, Georgia. I really had no idea about anything we were doing and it was refreshing to just go and enjoy! I usually love trip researching but my plate had been really full of women's ministry lately, so I was happy to do whatever!
The Veranda B & B was such a pretty place filled with antiques! Built in 1906
We ate so much good food! Kinda crazy with the fried stuff, though! Over 4 days we had fried deviled eggs, fried chicken, fried okra, sweet potato fries, fried green tomatoes, fried apples (breaded), and fried chicken livers!
Matt's Small-town Pizza wasn't so small!
Nic & Norman's
The town itself was pretty small. We found out it's claim to fame is that many movies have been filmed there. Downtown we saw stars in the sidewalk that represent different ones like Driving Miss Daisy, and Sweet Home Alabama. Right now the Walking Dead series is being filmed there and they have a Walking Dead tour (we aren't fans so didn't do this). In the town there are some beautiful new homes and also old broken down barns. Kind of interesting!
Walking Dead windmill and a cute church!
We visited Calloway Gardens and they had a balloon festival there! Loved the balloon glow.
This was a double dip....seriously! But it did cost $8, so I guess he should've expected it to be big!
We drove down to Warm Springs where FDR's Little White House is and enjoyed the museum and the house. He chose this area because the hot natural springs made him feel better with his Polio.
I hadn't heard about the Unfinished portrait. This was being done right before he felt ill and died, at the Little White House in Warm Springs.
This was at the International Market in Atlanta. It was a huge indoor market that sold all kinds of international foods, including shark! We all got snacks there, and skipped lunch. We also spent a few hours at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Museum and Library. I absolutely loved learning more about the president that was elected while I was in elementary school. All I remembered about him was that he was a peanut farmer and had a daughter close to my age. His faith was prominent in the museum and I really enjoyed it.
Back at the B & B, we had a fun picture taking session with everyone!
