On the Porch
Onisha Ellis
We have been enjoying the summer exploring with the grandchildren. Two weeks ago we visited the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We had planned some short walks and a picnic at Collins Creek picnic area. The weather decided to change our plans but we were able to grill our hotdogs under a wonderful pavilion at Collins Creek.
This week we were on a waterfall hunt in Clayton, Georgia. Due to bad directions and an over-full ford, we didn’t find the waterfalls but we did discover a great picnic area, Warwoman Dell. Warwoman has two amazing picnic pavilions, one with a large fireplace the other with a central fireplace with four grilling stations. We ended our day with the grandchildren wading in the Chattooga River located on the South Carolina-Georgia border.
Uh-oh should have driven the truck.
Love the fireplace. Looks like a great place for a Fall picnic
Wading on the Chatooga
Neither of our days went as we planned but we had a great time. Sometimes those rainy day picnics and mis-adventures create memories that are remembered far longer than perfect days.
How about you, do you let the weather or bad directions keep you from having a good time?
