The winter events sound tempting, but I’m not sure I want to drive north!
I’m not sure how far south you are but only Florida is more south than we are. Of course it’s warmer there than here right now! That’s for sure. We have overnight lows in the 20’s this week. That is cold for us southerners!
Looks like you put much research into this list. That is great for those who live close or who may even take a vacation in Georgia. Happy New Year, Shirley!
