Hiking Trails In North Georgia Most Are FREE Or Cheap

I have promised myself that I would get more outside time this summer and hiking is an incredibly fun and inexpensive way to do it with the children or the entire family (yes you can get dad involved). For a great guide on trails around Georgia check out http://www.georgiatrails.com/gt/Georgia_Hikes
They are give you directions of trails in and around Georgia as well an easy to follow summary of each trail describing length, type of trail and they also provide ratings on easy or hardness of the trail.
As an add bonus they also provide information about the area the trail is in and histories of that area.

If you are in to biking trails they also have listings of a few of those: http://www.georgiatrails.com/gt/Bike_rides_in_Georgia

At Burger King you can do a birthday party for no more then to cost of the food you buy.


There are two ways you can do a birthday party a Burger King.

The first: (My favorite) Burger King lets you use their Playland for no charge for parties. They allow you to bring in your own cake and paper goods and the one my family goes to even lets us decorate. You just count up how any BK Kids Meals you need and place your order. Drink refills are free. And as you know each BK Kids comes with a free toy so you can keep that in mind when you make up your give away bags. 


If you sign up for the BK Crown Club you will get a email for a free BK Kids Meal for your little on their birthday.
The BK Crown Club also has fun online games, crafts, and activities for your littles and you to enjoy together.

We have had a lot of fun doing these parties you get to be on your own schedule and choose how much time you want to let the kids play.

The  Second:  You can set up a birthday party through them (still quite inexpensive comparatively) and they will do the work for you.  You will have to call your locate BK for details.
