Escape the South Florida heat

Wow, is it hot and humid enough for you? It was for me, so we jumped in the car with our 2 dogs and cat, and drove 10.5 hours north to Blue Ridge, Georgia where we own a beautiful cabin on a 5 acre lot. When we come to Blue Ridge, we feel as though we have stepped back in time where people are friendly, the stores are not commercial big box types, (although Walmart and Starbucks are 15 minutes away) and there is so much to do and see. Flowers are in bloom everywhere, and the temperature is warm, but not humid during the day, and it is cool and comfortable at night. We have introduced several of our friends to this magical retreat and they have also purchased second homes here. The funny thing is that we are always running into Floridians up here! We were having breakfast outside a cute restaurant and people from Jupiter sat down at the table next to us and began talking. I am writing this from my back deck, while sipping an iced coffee and watching the birds in the trees. More later...
