We spent Thanksgiving at Robins Air Force Base...the base dining facility was open to retirees. They are always welcoming even generals are out there talking with us. This is a photo of the FamCamp we are staying at. Beautiful lakes in this part of Georgia.
We took a day to go to Macon, Georgia just north of Robins. Turns out it is has over 1500 registered National Historic sites. A driving tour of historic homes was fabulous.
The Cannonball House, named for damage sustained during the War Between the States, was built in 1853 as a planter's townhouse. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Hay House was completed in 1859. It has 24 rooms in 18,000 square feet. It is considered the most "opulent" of the mansions built in Macon before the Civil War. William B. Johnston included indoor bathrooms, hot and cold running water, central heat and many other features that were only then becoming popular.
