This weekend my family and I went to Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia. We woke up really early and left the house by ten and we were on our way! Three hours later we arrived in Columbus, Georgia and ate with some family friends at a little Italian restaurant, and the food was well worth the expense. Then we headed back to the hotel and unpacked. All night my sister and I watched Dance Moms. The next morning my mom and I woke up and went to eat breakfast and dad and my sister came down later and ate with us so we could hurry to the park. At the park, we visited the Discovery building and went through the gift shop because, oops, I forgot to wear a shirt under my hoodie and it was freezing! After I got warmed up, we went to the "Birds of Prey" show where the handlers brought out a hawk and two owls. After the show, we went to get something to eat at the Discovery café, and it also does not disappoint! We found that the Discovery building also has an art gallery with pictures of plants and flowers. After that we went to the beautiful chapel were we heard this man play the organ and we took some breath-taking pictures. As if that wasn't enough, we visited the butterfly garden too, which houses beautiful butterflies in a warm environment. Once we finished here, we drove up the mountain and ate at the Country Kitchen(does anything really beat Southern home-grown cooking'?). Later that night we met back up with my parent’s friends and we rode a trolley and went around to look at all the Christmas lights. They were so beautiful and I have to say that my favorite of all was the fairy gardens with Jack Frost. Even though it was really cold, it was still a lot of fun. After the ride we all went in the big tent which hosted Santa’s Wonderland and I bought a little penguin and I named it "Ashtray" because he’s gray like ash. Overall, I had a great time with the family and I think you would too!
