1-24-17 Pizza Hut and Lake Lanier sunset:

Seems Ken's no longer interested in going to Luigi's or Parma's for pizza.  But there is a nice sit down Pizza Hut nearby and their service is really good.  The pizza has even been quite good the last couple times that we went there.

 The price is certainly good, too, at something like $6@ for 2 or more medium pizzas any way you want them.  Of course, we got the meat lovers ones.

Then we continued on to Lake Lanier to check on the water levels and catch sunset.
Saw this house for sale just down the road from Old Federal Park.  If we were looking for a house, i'd be checking it out!

This is probably more like what we could afford!

Our favorite park on Lanier---at least to this point.  We've driven around to most of the parks, but most of them don't have a view west over the lake for sunset.  This happens to be looking East across part of the lake.

 This is a little marina to the north.  I would love to go to the marinas to take pictures, but they all seem to be gated and the gate keepers keep the rif raf like us out. 

We did drive down the main road around the lake to kill some more time before sunset (it was too cold to wander around at the park).  Saw another house I wouldn't mind checking out!

Back to Old Federal Park.  Here's the "island" that's still not an island.

 Looking out towards the setting sun.

 pinecones on the trees.

and these things 

and the sun has set.  No clouds to change colors, but it was still a beautiful way to spend the evening.

I'll be glad when spring comes and we head back up into the mountains.  Can't wait to see all the wild rhodies and other wild flowers in the Spring!  And green leaves on the trees again!
