Happy St. Patty's Day from Gorgeous Georgia!

Lucy has left Florida, and we are now spreading news of Dealerz Gone Wild to the beautiful Georgia countryside.  In honor of our trip through the American South, I downloaded the "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack.  The clay in Georgia really is red!

By Lake Oconee, Georgia

As soon as we crossed the border, we stopped at Big Rosie's Pecan Stand in Valdosta for some Georgia pecans. These have the highest antioxidant level of any nut (yay!). I bought a huge bag of praline pecans for my daughter and told her they were candy (but I may have eaten more than she did).

We stopped in Macon and strolled the streets.  What a gorgeous town!  I learned that it has the largest collection of antebellum mansions in Georgia.  Sadly, we were a week too early for the annual Macon Cherry Blossum Fesival, but the trees were already blooming and we had a wonderful time walking through the city.  In preperation for the event, all of the shops, houses, and buildings had pink floral wreaths.  So beautiful!

Leaving Macon, we ambled on our way up to Athens.  For more Georgia treats, we stopped for hot boiled peanuts on Lake Oconee.

Stopping in at Lakeshore Community Church in Milledgeville.

After church, Lucy swung by the old Country Bumpkin cafe in Milledgeville to tell them about DealerzGoneWild.com.  However, this location was closed!  So sad, we may have to stop by their Atlanta location to let them know about this great new website!

Sadly, Carol's Fruit Stand outside of Athens was closed for the day.  Lucy may have to stop by later to tell her about Dealerz Gone Wild and get some good Georgia peaches.

Stopping for church again in Farmington, GA.  I just liked the sign outside :-)

Alright Goergia Bulldogs, look for us getting our St. Patty's Day party on in Athens!
