we woke yesterday morning with an urge to explore. the thought that summer might pass us by, and we had yet to spend a single day at a beach, has been weighing on my mind. a quick google search of "lakes near atlanta" would turn up this gem of a location. it's about 40 minutes outside of atlanta, and the perfect spot to spend a morning swimming and relaxing in the sand. there's also an incredible playground, and we even had the beach completely to ourselves for a short while. my itch has been scratched... for now.
