Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week saw cooler temperatures across the Natural State at the start of the week, with a warm up near the end of the week. Here’s a look at the temperature highs and lows from my Earth Networks weather station in Hot Springs over the past week.

Finally, here’s an old post from my time at Lake Lanier in Georgia I thought I’d re-post here for fun.
A Day at Lake Lanier
Recently I visited Lake Lanier Resort near Buford, Georgia, again to show everyone the other side of Lake Lanier. As you recall from the last time I visited, it was during the Trail of Lights, so I wasn’t able to show the magnificent lake, lodge, and resort where the Trail of Lights was (although we had a wonderful time with the lights themselves!).
Here’s a map of Lake Lanier, which is about 45 minutes from where I live in Demorest, GA and about 45 minutes from Atlanta.
Lake Lanier Resort is set on the beautiful waters of Lake Lanier and is an 1,100 acre resort spanning various islands across the lakeside area. At the heart of the lake is the newly-rennovated Legacy Lodge and Conference Center, which was part of an $80 Million renovation project. The lodge houses various guest facilities, conference halls, a business center, and two restaurants. In addition, there are various lakehouses and villas, as well as houseboats and campgrounds available which can accommodate guests.
Lake Lanier has something for everyone. From golfing to fishing to boating to horseback riding, Lake Lanier is almost a vacation in and of itself without even counting all of the nearby shopping, dining, and attractions in Buford. Lake Lanier also offers a full service spa and full featured waterpark, so everyone can kick back and relax at North Georgia’s premier luxurious resort. It’s also the perfect place to say “I Do” and have a wedding.
Upon our arrival there, I mainly traversed the grounds, taking pictures of the beautiful lake area and just enjoying the wonderful photography weather we had that day. I then toured the lodge and met Wendy Parham, one of the sales managers at the lodge, who showed me all of the conference facilities and told us about Lake Lanier. She is also featured in my live WeatherBug Video Report I did while I was there. I’ll definitely say that I was thoroughly impressed with Lake Lanier’s lodge, and I’m looking forward to using their facilities and working with Wendy Parham when I need to plan business conferences for Mallard Computer (my computer corporation). After taking some photos, touring the facilities, filming my live WeatherBug Video Report, and enjoying the beautiful scenery, I then left Lake Lanier and headed back to Buford where I had a nice meal at the Golden Corral, then I took care of some shopping at the Mall of Georgia I needed to get done.
I had a wonderful time at Lake Lanier and Buford recently, and it is truly an unforgettable getaway not too far from us here in North Georgia, and definitely North Georgia’s premier lakeside resort!
That wraps it up here! Nathan Parker signing off.
