What do you enjoy doing on your day off?
We relocated from WI to GA 2 years ago this fall, so exploring our new “home” area is something we really love doing. As a family we love checking out surrounding cities, hiking, and spending days boating on Allatoona Lake. I also spend a lot of time designing our home projects. My husband and I have just about redone our whole house!
