Georgia’s Hands Free Law takes effect on July 1, 2018. Drivers cannot have a phone in their hands or use any part of their bodies to support their phones. That’s why they call it “hands free.”

What? You’ve never heard of a “landshark”? Well, you’ll just have to visit Landshark Landing at Margaritaville on Lake Lanier for the best explanation ever.
Maybe it all began the first time we watched The Wizard of Oz and we fell in love with Dorothy, Toto and that colorful balloon flying away from Kansas. Recapture the romance in Helen, Georgia, at their hot-air balloon festival and long-distance race.
Unfortunately, most of Lake Lanier will be wet according to the weather forecast. So, make reservations to eat indoors this Memorial Day Weekend!
You snooze, you lose. That’s true when you play Monopoly as a board game or in real life building hotels in Atlanta. If you waited to invest almost all your money on a bunch of new hotels in Atlanta, you’re too late. Sorry.
Sooner or later, the rain will stop. Lake Lanier will be filled to the brim. Boats will pack the lake and we’ll need to buy more sunscreen. Until then, let’s Party at Masterpiece Mixers!
If you combine a rainy day, kids who have been indoors too long, the desire to hang out with other parents, and the need for a safe, fun place to play … what do you get? A happy trip to the Interactive Neighborhood for Kids, Inc. — better known as INK!
Montaluce Winery and Restaurant in Dahlonega is celebrating its 10th anniversary. I finally made my first visit there. Better late than never to experience their exquisite surroundings and offerings.
Do you get a thrill when someone in a zippy car peels out? You might know it as “laying drags.” That’s kid stuff compared to what you’ll see when Drift Atlanta returns to Road Atlanta on May 11-12, 2018.
Pig Tales on Lake Lanier is my new favorite restaurant. It’s everything I ever hoped to find (well, almost) for fantastic food right on the lake.
