Happy Labor Day Weekend

It’s one thing to start a blog and quite another to actually do it and keep it going.  This point is exactly why I made myself get out of my house today and do something that would be content for this blog.  Being particularly adept at procrastination, this was quite out of character for me.  I decided to do something that was pretty easy to come up with and, well, something that I have always meant to do.  I visited the Augusta Museum of History on Reynolds Street.  It was only $1 to get in (bonus) however, after today, it goes back to $4.  Still a good deal.  It was so hot, I was glad to go on a cool and quiet journey through Augusta’s history.  It’s takes about 1 and 1/2 hours to go through the exhibits and it was interesting to see all the artifacts from the Native Americans through the Federal Era, Antebellum period, Civil War, Reconstruction and the making of the New South.  I particularly enjoyed the James Brown and the Famous Augustans Exhibits.  I saw some cool things like the Petersburg Boat that has made two trips to Savannah and back and a lot of history about Augusta that I did not know.  There’s plenty to capture the kiddies’ attention as well. On Sunday, September 2, check out The Commons Jazz Festival 2012 at 836 Reynolds Street.  Gates open at 5:00, bring your own seating.  For tickets ($20 for adults, kids under $12 free and Military, Seniors and Students $15)  For ticket info call 706.495.6238.  Also, 2012 Augusta Artwalk on Sunday as well 2-5, free.  My plans for the weekend are still up in the air  but I will be sure to fill you in on all the awesomeness I find!  Let me know what you are up to as well.  If you want to get the word out about a happening or an event, send me an email here.  Oh, there’s a blue moon this weekend!  Have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend!
