flat creek lodge

This weekend, Brad and I went to Flat Creek Lodge in Swainsboro.  We had a Groupon that we wanted to use in March but this weekend was the only one they had open.  Good thing because the weekend I had in mind for March, we have a wedding.  Oops. 

Martha and Win joined us for dinner because they live close.  Flat Creek actually used to be private and they were members and got engaged there.

the lodge had a full spa and many hunting/fishing options.  they also do tours of the dairy and tastings.  i decided to buy my own cheese and do a tasting at home.  they also grow mushrooms and berries there. 

good times!
