We've been discovering new adventures

Last weekend, we went to Lake Tobesofkee to check out the beach there. When we came in, we decided to go to the beach that was right next to the pavilion where our pre-wedding dinner was held last year. It was a nice, quiet time with a little bit of sun and shade under the trees. Jennifer wasn't too crazy about the muddy bottom in the water, but it sure was close to home.

This weekend, we decided to investigate the pool at High Falls State Park, which is about 30 miles north of Macon. The pool was big, and we didn't feel too crowded even with lots of people there. It was mostly cloudy, but there was a brief period of bright sun coming through. Keith wished we had some shade around the pool so we weren't always out in the sun, but he did enjoy seeing the waterfalls at the park after we were done in the pool.

While we were in Jackson, GA, we saw a water park on the way to High Falls. On our way home, we drove up to check it out. There's a pool and a couple of water slides, and the price is not bad at all.

Today, we got to see the Braves with free Home Depot tickets. The Marlins scored three runs before the first out. The Braves scored a run in the bottom of the first inning. With a losing score of 6-1 at the end of seven innings, we were convinced that the game was a loss. Then, the Braves found a way to score three runs in the eighth. Matt Diaz hit a 2-run homer in the ninth to tie it up. Then, Brian McCann got a long hit that the umpires had to review to decide if it was a homerun. When they saw the replay, they sent him around the bases with a walk-off homerun, and the Braves had come back from a 6-1 score to win the game 7-6. We talked about that drama most of the way home.

We're enjoying our water adventures and baseball, and we're looking forward to some more water next weekend at the river.
