The Best Sight In The World Is Actually A Road Sign That Says Welcome To Georgia

We love to travel in and around the Peach State. There’s so much to do and see not only within our own borders, but within our neighboring states and the ones that lie further beyond. But there’s also something to be said for the joy of coming home after a long trip. When you’ve been on the highway for what feels like endless hours and finally hit that “welcome to Georgia” sign – well, there’s really nothing like it. It’s a sight for sore eyes that fills the heart with joy and a sense of homecoming.

Whether you're driving in or flying in, you'll be greeted by a great big blue sign reminding you to keep Georgia on your mind.

There's so much to love about every corner of our state. In the southwest, you've got cities like Americus and Albany, plus rural regions filled with farmland and forests.

Heading up towards the northwestern part of the state, you'll of course hit the bustling metropolis of Atlanta, known for numerous attractions and culture.

Keep driving up towards Tennessee and you'll see acres of forest and state parks.

Towards the northeast, you'll hit the quintessential college town of Athens, and then Augusta.

The middle of the state is often ignored, but there's a good bit to do here! Macon is such a historic town with plenty of attractions, and there's a lot of rural farmland and quaint small towns in this region of Georgia.

And of course, who could forget the magnificent coastal city of Savannah towards our southeast? Filled with culture, natural beauty, and architectural splendor, this is a place like nowhere else in the world.

It doesn't matter if you've just gone on a brief vacation or you've moved away and are traveling back to visit family - the sight of a "welcome to Georgia" sign is a wonderful experience that delights even the weariest of travelers.

With all this negativity in the world today, we’d love to focus on something a little more positive. What are your favorite things about living in Georgia? Share your stories in the comments!
