Stop #2: Bald Ridge Creek Campground

On Memorial Day, we checked in to Bald Ridge Creek Campground on Lake Lanier in Georgia. This is definitely the most beautiful campground we have stayed in to date. Our site was right on the lake and the boys wanted to go swimming immediately. Our friends, Sandy and Imelda joined us for some ribs and burgers on the grill. That evening, we enjoyed the serenity of the park and met some new folks on the site next to us. It is so cool how we meet great people everytime we camp. That would not happen in a hotel. We had a curfew of 10:30 pm at the park which was funny. They actually lock the front gate and no one gets in or out unless there is an emergency during the night. No Braves game for The Ham family :(

The next morning we had visitors behind our camper. 10 baby ducks and their mom were wanting some food. All I had handy was some animal crackers which they loved. SamBob and Wesley fed them in their pajamas.

After Jason Jr and Nathan finished their school lessons on Wednesday, we went for a visit to Inspirational Smiles which is the dental practice of Imelda Crews DDS. It is located in the downtown, historic area of Cumming. (shameless plug)  We couldn't hang out inside for long since we have four rowdy boys that need to run around and be loud. At lunch time, we all walked to a local authentic italian restaurant a block away. Everything was yummy! SamBob especially liked the big pizza and the spaghetti. 

 

Our last night in Georgia was spent hanging out with Sandy and Imelda at the campground. After dinner, we went for a hike and enjoyed some quality adult time skipping rocks on the lake shore. Obviously an invaluable skill I didn't learn as a child! Jason and Sandy challenged each other and Jason was the winner with 9 skips. Imelda and I could only manage to get two in. Thanks for showing us that you are never too old to skip rocks!

Thursday morning came way to soon! It was time to pack up and move on in our adventure. We are on the road again and headed for Nashville, TN.
