My family is spending Memorial Day Weekend in a cottage at Callaway Gardens. I’ve been going to Callaway Gardens since I was a child and now Callaway Gardens is one of my kids favorite places. In fact, my kids are the fourth generation of my family, to visit Callaway Gardens. My mom made sure that we created many great memories with family as we were growing up and I vividly remember visiting Callaway Gardens’ butterfly center with my Granddaddy when I was a teenager, over 20 years ago. Building memories with your family is so important and Atlantans are lucky to live so close to Callaway Gardens at just a little over an hour’s drive. Once we arrive at Callaway Gardens the kids just light up and are ready to explore and play no matter what time it is. We will get there after dark this Thursday but the kids are already talking about going on a flashlight ‘hike’.
