3 MORNING BALLOON LAUNCH / CALLAWAY GARDENS
This morning we return to Callaway Gardens for the second day of the Sky High Balloon Festival. Watch as a heap of material laid out on the ground slowly fill with air and create these gorgeous round balloons that will lift off the ground with the grace and peaceful exuberance that we all wish we had. Afterward we’ll visit the Natural wonder of one of the most beautiful Georgia Botanical Gardens with a guided tour then time on your own to explore. Callaway Gardens is as much about history as it is flora and fauna, it’s your day to explore, learn, and take in both a rich past and the wonders of nature. This afternoon we tour FDR’s Little White House in Warm Springs, GA. Visitors can tour FDR’s home, which has been carefully preserved very much as he left it, the servants and guest quarters, and the nearby pools complex that first brought the president to Warm Springs.
