So sorry I was MIA for a few days, but I had to go to Orientation at UGA, then went straight from Athens to Augusta to visit my grandfather. We didn't do a whole lot, mostly just hung out at his house and went out to eat, but it was nice to spend some quality family time after a hectic two days at Orientation. Since I have family there, I've spent a good amount of time in Augusta over the past eighteen years, and there's a bunch of fun things to do there. If you're ever in Augusta, here's the top three things you have to do:
Our favorite restaurant in Augusta is the French Market Grille West, which serves yummy, sometimes spicy, Cajun food. Seriously, we have never made a trip to Augusta without visiting at least once, and sometimes more! I highly recommend the Cajun popcorn, which is fried crawfish tail meat served with sherry wine sauce, for dinner, and Peanut Butter Pie for dessert. Y'all. I can't talk enough about Peanut Butter Pie. It's actually my favorite food, and I can never pass it up, especially when we go to French Market.
If you're lucky enough to be in Augusta the first full week of April, you're probably there for the thing Augusta is most famous for: The Masters. I've been a few times, and it's so much fun! You get to dress up and walk all over the Augusta National Golf Club, and it's great people watching! If you get to go, make sure to get something with the Masters logo on it to prove you were actually there!
If you have a few days, take a day trip over to Aiken, South Carolina! I love Aiken because it's real horse country, and there's some beautiful houses and stables to drive by, but there's also good food and amazing shopping! If you like equestrian fashion, there's tons of shops that will cater to that, but if you don't there's also tons of cute little boutiques!
Have a lovely day!
XO,
Carson
