| [Garden&Gun] Nestled in the rolling hills of North Georgia, just one hour from Atlanta, lies Barnsley Resort, a 3,000-acre former estate that marries heritage, natural beauty, and world-class outdoor activities. Originally built in the 1840s by British shipping magnate Godfrey Barnsley as a home for his Savannah-born wife, Julia, the resort was designed in a unique walking village layout where guests can choose accommodations in the fifty-five-room inn or one of the luxurious stand-alone cottages—some of which are even pet-friendly. For a perfect introduction to the resort, guests are invited to climb aboard a complimentary bicycle and cruise around the verdant grounds, or meander down the property’s trails that wind along still ponds and over wooden bridges. While you're in the area, stop by the Savoy. |

| #5 As a native Washingtonian, I grew up knowing God graced the South with beauty and great people, but forgot to temper the humid weather. The first time I took my lovely bride East (native Southern Californian) to Williamsburg for our belated honeymoon, we took the Red-Eye into then National Airport, got the rental car and drove directly there (4th of July, early afternoon, 1976), she stepped out of the air conditioned car and this charming, polished, daughter of an Episcopal clergyman and granddaughter of the Bishop of Los Angeles exclaimed: "Holy Sh*t, you gotta be kidding me!" |
