Chateau Elan

Drew and I managed to slip away for the weekend and headed to Brasleton, GA to stay (and play) at Chateau Elan. Chateau Elan is a winery in North Georgia that makes several different types of wine, my favorite being the sweeter Muscadine wines (came home with 6 bottles!). We played golf Saturday afternoon and that was a lot of fun for both of us! Drew actually played; I just caddied for him. Saturday night we ate Dinner at the Versailles Restaurant which was French food which was fine, but the desserts were even better! I literally had a plate full of chocolate before we left dinner (and of course made myself sick!).   The rooms were fantastic, very spacious, clean and well decorated and our room overlooked one of the three golf courses. The spa was beautiful as well with an authentic Parisian feel (well, as authentic as they could make it in Georgia). We both agree that we would like to make another trip to Chateau Elan  in the future.

Dinosaurs!

On Sunday drew and I took our nephew to Augusta to see the dinosaur exhibit at the Civic Center. In my opinion there could have been more dinosaurs (I was thinking there were going to be legitimate fossils and artifacts) but there was none of that. There was however a good number of extra large animal tronic dinosaurs that my nephew loved looking at and touching although I don't think we were supposed to touch. It was fun especially for a 2.5 year old but the person paying $56 to get in was a liytle disappointed! There's also was a kidzone complete with several bouncy houses face painting dinosaur rides and sheer madness. He absolutely loved the kidzone! We went and ate pizza at Mellow Mushroom afterwards then finished of the day with ice cream from Dairy Queen. Drew and I immediately went home and slept for two hours. It was sooooo exhausting!
