Beat the Heat in Gwinnett | Cool Things To Do

You know what they say about the weather in Georgia, "If you don't like it, just wait a few minutes" Oh wait, maybe that's Florida. Well unless you live in a cave you know it's been a very hot summer already. No sign of the heat breaking soon so why not find something cool to do?

The Gwinnett area has plenty of indoor or wet activities. If you're new or moving to the area and have no idea what to do, here are a few of my favorites....

Lanier World This one is not officially in Gwinnett county but close enough. Located on Lake Lanier in Gainesville this place has it all. A waterpark with a wave pool and several other waterslides, a beach and restaurants. My family has season passes and we use them regularly. Find out more at http://www.lanierworld.com/

Gwinnett County Parks There are several parks around that have indoor and outdoor pools. Some include waterslides, lazy rivers and playgrounds in the pool. The entry fee is minimal and you can stay as long as you like. Find out more at http://www.gwinnettcounty.com/ and click on the Parks and Recreation link.

Mall of Georgia Regal Theaters You know it's always cold in the movie theater no matter what time of year it is? BINGO! Perfect for a hot summer day. There's also an IMAX theater at this location so check it out. Of course, it's at the mall so you shouldn't have any problems getting the wife and kids to go.

Suwanee Town Center Fountains My daughter loves to run in the fountains at this very hip and cool park in the middle of Suwanee. What's really cool about it is there's always something going on there, and there's several great restaurants surround the park too.

My Addiction to Frozen Yogurt | Dacula Gets New Froyolo

I'm addicted.......not to something illicit or illegal. I'm addicted to.......wait for it.......frozen yogurt. This is a recent finding and probably one that has helped me from becoming a bowling ball again. Some would argue that frozen yogurt is just as bad as ice cream when it comes to nutrional value but I would beg to differ. First just look at the nutrition charts. Secondly, there's no way I could have consumed the same amount of ice cream in the last two months and still fit into my shorts.

Recently a new outlet for my addiction opened in Dacula. Froyolo is the place where I get my fix. Located in the Publix shopping Center on Dacula Rd, this new location is the typical self serve, topping crazy, glass tiles and plastic chairs. But, it's only 3 miles from my house!!!

It's a buffet of frozen yumminess. Grab a cup (I like the medium size because you can fill it to the rim and still have some dignity because it doesn't look like a tub), fill it up with up to 13 flavor choices, get your toppings and pay by weight. That's right, pay by weight. You would think this would keep patrons from overfilling the cup but not me.



If you live in Dacula, like frozen treats, and you don't care if you get addicted, you should try it. There are plenty of frozen yogurt brands out there but this, in my opinion, is the best!
