Great little spot for amazing seafood and hush puppies!! I have never had a bad meal here. My advice would be to get there a little early, as there is always a wait. It's in downtown Thomasville, GA-which is about a 30 minute drive, but worth it. Cute little shops everywhere, along with other great restuaraunts and a great day trip!

This right up the road from us off of Buck Lake Rd! It's probably my favorite area to go for a run. There are wooded trails & open terrain for hikers, mountain bikers & equestrians, with horse trailer parking. When you pull in to the greenway, park on the right and follow that trail down until you come to the bridge that goes over the railroad tracks. It's about a 3.5 mile loop around Lake Lafayette (which you can canoe in as well)...and a good 3/4 of it is in the shade, if you feel like a run or walk. This is a relatively new area that you should definitely take advantage of!

This is one of the few state parks with dry (air-filled) caves and is the only state park in Florida to offer cave tours to the public. The Florida Cavern has dazzling formations of limestone stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, flowstones and draperies. The Chipola River and Blue Hole spring provide areas for fishing, canoeing and boating. Florida Caverns State Park is popular for camping, picnicking, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding.

There are candles, sunglasses, furnishings for the apartment (lamps and such, not furniture), jewelry, tapestries, picture frames, cards, shoes. It's very rare I leave here empty handed.
