Golf Carts

We have a golf cart. For those of you who aren't familiar with where we live, it's an awesome little city south of Atlanta that has about 100 miles of cart paths. The paths are mostly hidden within the trees, they wind in and out of neighborhoods and take you anywhere you want to go - shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, parks, the lake, the library - you name it...
Not only does it save on gas (because most golf carts are electric), but it's fun and convenient - my kids actually don't mind running errands with me!
Our cart is pretty simple, but some people have theirs customized with matching paint, seat covers and rain jackets, and suped up with big tires and rims. We do have seats belts in ours, which isn't standard, but I think it's really necessary if you have small children. The paths are very curvy and, though you don't go too fast, it would be easy for a kid to fall out and get hurt.
If you drive by the high school in the middle of the day, you will actually see more golf carts than cars - it's amazing.
We've only lived here for about a year, and only got our golf cart this past May, but we have so enjoyed it. This area is very wooded, so it's not uncommon to see deer by the paths or a fox running through the trees. So that's a really big perk, to watch the excitement on our boys faces when they see a bunny hopping by the cart path or a baby deer grazing in our back yard.
I think our favorite place to go is the lake. We've found this little clearing beside an inlet where the ducks like to sleep. We go there and the boys collect shells, feed the ducks, and play in the water (which is only 1 foot deep for about 15 feet out).
I almost feel like we're on vacation sometimes, like we really don't live in this awesome place - we are so very blessed to be where we are and are thrilled that our kids get to grow up here!
