Augusta Adventure

Weekend trips and activities have been a tad limited these past few months due to the intensity of our training. Weekends are for our long bike, run, and swim of the week and it's too complicated to do those three things when we're not at home. So, an opportunity to take a mini trip with our best friends for the weekend was a breath of fresh air. It was because of this girl that we got to go...

On our way to Augusta, we planned to make a little stop off in Montgomery to eat supper. My mom's new Southern Living issue had just arrived in the mail the day before so I decided to bring it on the trip to browse through. As we were trying to decide where to go to dinner, an article about Hampstead Village caught my attention. After reading about this charming little community, we plugged it in the GPS and decided to try something new.

This little village is built outside the hustle and bustle of Montgomery. It has it's own post office, YMCA, little Montessori school, restaurants, and shops all built in one charming little setting. Oh, and there's cute little town homes too!

We were craving southern cookin' and Farmhouse Kitchen delivered.

As you can tell, it was getting dark and my camera was getting blurred vision so unfortunately, photos of the food were not taken.

So if you're ever in Montgomery, go check out Hampstead Village! Moving on to Augusta...

Downtown was charming... Their were eclectic coffee shops, dives and bookstores...

The old railroad track/station gave the city rustic character and color.

Obviously, it's very humid. {My lens fogged up but I think it gives the picture a rather spooky feel!}

The Savannah River was beautiful... and now I'm wishing I would've taken more pictures... but you get the jist, it's a cute town! And so is Hampstead Village in Montgomery... 

The first night of the trip, we walked in our hotel room and Aaron said, "Ahhh... home sweet home." It was actually nice to spend a weekend driving in a car for hours upon hours, sleeping in hotels, and living out of a suitcase. For half of the year, that's life as we know it... and we're comfortable with that.
