Memorable Honeymoon Vacation in Georgia

by Robert
(Albany )

My favorite vacation ever was down to Babyland General in Georgia, during the off season. This is a wonderfully campy spot, where we could relax and enjoy the local color as well as the put hilarity of Babyland itself -- it's like what theme parks used to be like before they went all thrill ride.

I love thrill rides, but there's still a time and a place for campy and for pure silly, and a week long vacation from irony was just what we needed.

Nearby is a resort -- Athens, Georgia -- where for no particular reason they decided to become an Alpine village, and the whole place was pure Dixie with a Bavarian twist.

It was so relaxing to be among so many people who didn't take themselves seriously, the combination of down home and yodeling doesn't sound like it would go together, but it was a truly magical vacation.

We stayed in a timeshare and at night we could see the entire sparkling village below. Oh, and this was our honeymoon.

My bride and I have pictures from a truly memorable escape, just what a honeymoon should be.
