A wonderful old school skate plaza…read more The best part was it is only $5 Tuesday nights from 7-10 and that includes the skates. If you want inline skates it's an additional $2. You can also bring your own. The place itself is old and in need of some renovations like updated carpeting. The skate floor itself is great and large. There are lockers to rent for a quarter, but we didn't feel we even needed them. There is a huge list of rules, but they weren't so strict with the cut off sleeves (it was midsummer) but they do not allow hats on the floor. Customer service could stand to be a little friendlier, but overall no one was rude. The locker attendants just don't respond. Could also get a Dj to really bring this place to life. They had music, but the entire song would end before the next one started which dropped the mood. For $5 though, I find it hard to complain and we will definitely be back.

Super fun experience for an amazingly reasonable price!…read more We were able to see come cool and friendly animals, feed and pet some and be surrounded by beautiful budgies (parakeets) all for under $40! This is a great way to spend a few hours and get a lot of laughs, pics and memories. It looks like they will be expanding the drive thru safari route. We took our own vehicle and it took a licking or two lol. Bring wet wipes and hand sanitizer, you'll need it after the ride is over. Also, splurge the $3 for the budgie stick, so worth it. Unfortunately, the turtle didn't come out so we could feed it, but we fed the carrots to the other animals.

Tugaloo State Park-Georgia…read more A large state park near Lavonia and Toccoa, Georgia off of I-85. Pronounced "Two-ga-low" according to locals we asked. Located on Lake Hartwell, this state park features 105 campsites and 4 bath houses. Cottages and yurts are also available to rent. All rv sites are well shaded and many have nice lake views. Each site has water, electric and cable tv hookups(although our cable hookup did not work). No sewer hookups but there is a double lane dump station near the campground entrance. The park staff we met were friendly and helpful. The park has a rec area with a swimming beach, a mini-golf course, tennis courts and several picnic shelters. There are two boat ramps in the park but we saw many people just beaching their canoes and kayaks on the shore behind their campsites. We also saw people fishing from the shore and from boats. We were in site 7, a lakeside pull through. The gravel drive was sloped some but relatively level midway in where we set up. The pad area with the fire pit and grill and large table was somewhat smaller than we have found in other Georgia state parks, but it was just a few steps down an incline from our back door to the lakeshore. This was a pretty quiet park but the low rumble from I-85 could be heard from across the lake from where we were. There were a few hiking trails but bikes were not permitted on the ones we saw. However, the paved roads inside the park made for nice e-biking. Toccoa is about a 20 minute drive. It is a nice small town and has just about anything you might need(groceries, pharmacies, restaurants, a WalMart, etc.). Lavonia is a bit smaller town but its also a bit nearer to the park. went into Toccoa and toured the Currahee WWII Museum downtown. Toccoa and nearby Mount Currahee were the home of the 101st Airborne Division's training operations during WWII. There are also some waterfalls in that area but we did not get to visit those. Should you go into Toccoa, if you enjoy country cooking, don't miss the M&J Home Cooking Country Buffet for tasty lunch or dinner. The weather was great when we were there in mid-October and the public areas in the park were not crowded at all.
