We attended an orientation for gifted students held by the Richmond County Board of Education. The…read moreschool is immaculate and looks like one of the newer schools in the area. This is a magnet school, so students matriculate here based on selection or application. With a 95% graduation rate, 99% Math & Reading proficiency there is no doubt as to why this is one of the best schools in the state of Georgia.

Looking for nearby outdoor places in CSRA, we found this trail off the beaten path. There are…read morereally 2 parts to this trail, I'll call them the eastern trail and the western trail. Eastern trail is wide open, no trees, and you're walking around some holding ponds designed to filter sewage from the nearby sewage plant. That's not as bad as it sounds, it doesn't smell like sewage. If you're a bird watcher, this place is for you. I preferred the western trail, which meanders thru the woods beside a creek and over boardwalks elevated above marshlands.

I drive Sundays from Augusta to Aiken to enjoy the serenity of a smaller city with much to offer and a sweet pedestrian friendly downtown. I'm new to the kneeling and the more formal attire worn by the clergy at St. Thaddeus. I'm interested in midweek activities here as well, including Wednesday Chapel in an ancient building.

Winter weather in Augusta is such a gamble. Will it be cold? Hot? Rainy? Icy? We never know around…read morehere. So when it comes to weddings, the safe bet is having one indoors. Now imagine a historic, located in downtown Augusta, multilevel, and picturesque from top to bottom. Well, imagine no more. This building has been around since 1835, with the focus primarily being medical (hence the name). The nod to Greek architecture is astounding and the team who manage it are helpful in every way. The space is now available for rental and I found myself there for a wedding (in the role of officiant). I wandered around (since I have plenty of free time before ceremonies begin) and found where they store the various tables and chairs. I also saw the separate spaces that can be used for dressing rooms or dining areas. Gorgeous! The tall ceilings and intricate detail demand that you take a selfie. If you have an event of any magnitude coming up, consider having it here. You will not be disappointed.

Recently my sister was married here. She also held her reception here. I absolutely love the space. It's on the National Registry of Historic Places, so it has all the charm one would need. There is exposed brick, columns, a winding staircase and plenty other beautiful features. It has a great location on Telfair Street. The gates and the stone pathway as you walk up are great. The parking is tricky. You can park on the street and there is a small lot behind the building, but if you're expecting a large crowd they're sure to complain. However, directly across from the venue is the City's municipal building with plenty of parking. Also, downstairs are bathrooms and a dressing room. We used it to get ready. The venue also has a kitchen for caterers use and service elevators. Overall, great venue. Visit it anytime because it has lots of history too.
