Friday Night Travels Around Lake Lanier

Wow!  What a Friday night we had last night.  I can tell you this post will be short on real estate and more on things to do around Lake Lanier.  Last night started early around 6:30.  Since we lost an anchor for our boat the previous weekend, we decided to head over to the store that has it all when it comes to boating, West Marine!  Located in Buford on Lake Lanier Islands Parkway, this place has it all!
















We were quick to get what we wanted and make a fast getaway to dinner.  But where?  Well, how about Lake Lanier Islands?  It's been a while since I've been to the Islands by car, but with so many new venues we headed on over.  What an improvement from the days of old!  And what a picturesque setting!  You could spend a day on the ground at Lake Lanier Islands and fill up an incredible photo album!  Seriously, there are incredible vistas at every turn.  I really enjoyed seeing the new restaurants, grounds and Legacy Lodge.  We took photos with the Android, but some of these pics would have been better with a true, full scale camera.  But, here's what we were able to quickly snap at Legacy Lodge.  Very nicely renovated and inviting!










































And a few more pics of the beautiful grounds of the Islands!










































The beauty is everywhere at Lake Lanier Islands!  But we know other spots for dining in Buford that are good too.  If you're in the mood for great food in an old town square atmosphere, check out the square in downtown Buford.  Aqua Terra Bistro is one of the best restaurants in the area!  Great wine, fantastic food, in a romantic, historical area.  It's hard to go wrong at Aqua Terra, and it always makes for an elegant evening.  Here are a few of the photos from downtown Buford!
