Travel Itinerary:

Day 1: It's teatime in historic Ridgeway, SC, and you are in for a real treat at Laura's Tea Room. It all starts the moment you climb the stairs to the mezzanine and wait for your table to be prepared. You may try on the many vintage hats and pick out a teacup of your choice from over a hundred vintage cups. Tea is elegantly poured, and a High Tea is served, including scone and Devonshire cream, followed by a tiered tray of delectable delights ranging from savory to sweet. Make sure you browse the specialty gift shop before we continue our journey to Augusta, GA. Check into our hotel with a welcome dinner. Lunch & Dinner Included.

Day 2: After breakfast we head to Macon, GA, which boasts more cherry blossom trees than Washington, DC! A wonderful lunch is included before we meet our local guide and follow the Cherry Blossom Trail through downtown and the surrounding area to view some of Macon's 350,000 plus Yoshino Cherry Blossom Trees, hopefully in full bloom! Learn how these trees propagated so rapidly and why Macon is known as the Cherry Blossom Capital of the World. We end the tour at the beautiful St. Joseph's Cathedral, famed for its Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Then drive to Columbus, GA and check into our hotel with another included dinner. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Included.

Day 3: Springtime and Pine Mountain seem to go well together, especially since this is the home to the beautiful Callaway Gardens, our destination today. A naturalist guide will join us for a tour around the 2,500 acres with over 700 varieties of azaleas. Visit the Butterfly Center with over 1,000 different species of butterflies, the Sibley Conservatory with colorful blooms everywhere, the inspirational chapel, and lastly, take in the beauty of the garden paradise. Check into the AAA Four Diamond Resort, The Lodge & Spa at Callaway Gardens with dinner included this evening at the resort. Breakfast and Dinner Included.

Day 4: Bid farewell to Callaway as we journey back to North Myrtle Beach, SC. Breakfast Included.
