Scarlett


My boyfriend is a college student and i am graduating high school in 3 weeks. This summer we're planning on going on a vacation together, but obviously it's gotta be really affordable. So we want to be frugal but still have a great time.
Is St. Simons Islands as calm as daytona beach in fl?
I've heard about places like blue ridge, helen, and barnsley gardens but i've never really been anywhere in georgia for vacations.
Need all suggestions!!



Answer
-Fifth Best Vacation Spot in Georgia- Atlanta

Atlanta is certainly the most visited city in Georgia thanks to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Of course this sprawling capital city has much to offer. Fun activities for families and children include Six Flags Over Georgia, the Georgia Aquarium, and Zoo Atlanta. The artsy crowd will enjoy the High Museum of Art, the Fox Theatre, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. If live events are what you seek, plenty can be found at the Georgia Dome, Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood, and Philips Arena. Sports fans lace up for the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Thrashers, and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Lastly, make a conscious effort to visit Stone Mountain Park's night time laser show and sneak over to nearby Athens Georgia's Sanford Stadium, the home of the Georgia Bulldogs.

-Fourth Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - Lake Oconee

About an hour east of Atlanta rests Lake Oconee, Georgia's best kept secret. Of course Lake Oconee boasts excellent fishing, boating, and water sports. There you will can also enjoy seven of the world's finest golf courses designed by the likes of Jack Nicholas and Ben Crenshaw. Fine dining and world class pampering can be found at the Ritz Carlton Lodge at Reynolds Plantation where several of these golf courses are hidden. This quiet lake community comes alive every year when the entire golf world turns its eyes to Augusta, Georgia for the Masters golf tournament.

-Third Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - Cumberland Island

A trip to Cumberland Island is not an event that can be described in words, rather an encounter that must be experienced. First one must board the Cumberland Island Ferry in mainland St. Mary's, Georgia. Once on Cumberland, you will soak in the best unspoiled scenery that nature has to offer. Sprawling, giant live oaks adorned with Spanish moss provide shelter to low lying palmettos. As you move further away from the mainland you will find the ruins of Nathaniel Greene's home and a myriad of wildlife including turkey, deer, and alligators. Further we go and approach undisturbed beaches where wild horses roam. No high rise hotels. Just you and nature the way it was intended. Don't forget to bring food and water for your excursion and camping on the island is available. Once you return to the mainland St. Mary's has everything you need.

-Second Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - North Georgia Mountains

North Georgia is decorated with the spirited Blue Ridge Mountains. Visit fantastic shops in fabulous towns like Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, and Helen. Of course there are scenic log cabins everywhere you turn available for rent year round. Here you can also hike the Appalachian Trail which begins in Springer Mountain, Georgia and ends in Mount Katahdin, Main.e. Don't miss Chateau Elan in Braselton, Georgia and experience world class spa treatment, golf, dining, lodging, and winery. One can truly find peace and relaxation in this enchanted region.

-The Best Vacation Spot in Georgia - Savannah/ Tybee Island, Georgia

Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia are a remarkable combination of fun, relaxation, and scenery.

Start your day with a scenic drive out to Tybee Island. Spend the day in the sun on Tybee's beaches and mingle with the very friendly locals. At dusk, stop by the Crab Shack on your way back in. It's "Where the elite eat in their bare feet!". Once back in Savannah, take stroll down the cobblestoned River Street which houses night clubs, restaurants, and gift shops. There will also be plenty of live music and street performers as you watch the moon gleam on the Savannah River. Make sure you stop at Wet Willie's for a frozen treat. Beauty, atmosphere, and culture make Savannah and Tybee Island the best vacation spot in Georgia.

Most interesting fish choices for at home?

Q. I would like to buy a fish tank and shelter some aquatic life, but I just don't want to watch a couple of fish swim all the time and do nothing but eat.

Do you know any interesting combination of sea creatures to house in a large fish tank and seen the most activity? (like your housing a small chunk of the beach, but instead it lives inside that tank.)

Any answers?
NOTE: Thank you everyone for replying. All your answers are good. =]


Answer
Well if you want "sea" creatures i assume you mean saltwater? then the most interesting thing you can do in my opinion is a reef tank. The limitations are endless but it requires a lot of research and work. You can get some beautiful wrasses, tangs angels ect. There are endless amounts of inverts just be prepared for some effort that needs to be put in on your behalf to maintain such a tank. Otherwise id reccomend sticking with freshwater and still there are many beautiful fish you can do some of my favorites would be the african cichlids and discus fish. A little less work is involved in maintaining that type of tank but still need to do a lot of research and work. Keeping fish isnt easy but if you enjoy doing it than it is very calming and extremely rewarding. Do research and find what type of tank best suits you befor jumping into something and not want to put the time into keeping the fish happy and healthy. If youi have any ideas as far as marine tanks go id be happy to help. when it comes to keeping freshwater id reccomend asking magicman he really knows his stuff as well as a few others on this site. Hope this helps and good luck on your future tank.

I mean with a tent, id love for there to be activities to do too like horse back ridding or kayaking....but doesnt have to.


Answer
Carpinteria State Beach in Santa Barbara is pretty sweet, but getting reservations is tough. Aside from reserving 6 months ahead thru Reserve America, you can just show up and wait in line for a no-show opening. You will have to do that every day. Pretty much the same system for any beach camping place in CA. Just google the reserve america site and it explains it pretty well.
