This little weekend adventure found my wife out of town and this dad trying to entertain three girls. We headed to our neighborhood park, but then my girls asked to go to the ‘Toy Bridge.” That’s our name for one of my favorite things that the city of Augusta has done: renovating the old rickety Fifth Street Bridge into a walking bridge for the community. They added several fun interactive elements like puzzles and large musical instruments, which is how my girls gave it our moniker. But as our lovely

In the early 90’s, boy bands were everywhere: ‘NSync, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on The Block. If you turned on your radio, you were guaranteed to hear their catchy tunes. One of those bands, Take That, was huge in the UK…but not the U.S. “Better Man,” a gala screening at the 2024 SCAD Savannah Film Festival may change that legacy. The film is a biography of Take That member, Robbie Williams. Williams came from a loving home with a caring mother and grandmother. His father, while present early on, had

Opening night of the SCAD Savannah Film Festival always sets the tone for the rest of the event and Saturday’s gala screening raised the bar to Hollywood royalty heights.

Sara’s has taken the farm fun that we’ve seen in other places and stepped it up a notch. They have a lot of open space to work with, so the entire experience feels

Parents have a love/hate relationship with Indoor Play Places. They are a great place to burn energy no matter the weather outdoors, but can also be an overstimulating germ factory. The Augusta area has had several indoor play zones through the years, and while there are now trampoline parks and such, the only true indoor playground I can think of that remains is Playland of Aiken. My family was introduced to Playland via a birthday party, and my girls have begged to go at least once every month since. While
