Georgia on my mind

Last weekend I flew to Augusta, Georgia for a graduate school interview I had.  It was an exciting, nice little "break" in the day to day.  My parents drove down from North Carolina (which was a HUGE blessing), and I also got to spend time with my cousin who lives there.

This was the morning view I enjoyed at my cousin's house...definitely different from what i'm used to in Dallas (there are trees!!)

The city had nice, old charm to it.

And I mean reeeally old, this church was originally built in the late 1700s.

 

The Savannah river.  I'm sure it will be even nicer when the trees are in bloom.

The last day of my trip, I spent in Atlanta with my parents.  After lunch we pretty much hung out all day at my favorite spot, Piedmont Park.  It was gorgeous weather for relaxin' and people watchin'

Even with the pressure of an interview (and having to wear clothes that needed to be ironed and tucked-in), it was such a nice weekend.  It's always a treat to unexpectedly see my parents.  Family and a change of scenery is always refreshing.
