Well, it's closed now for the season but keep this in mind for next year. This family-owned and family-friendly farm is a quick drive from town. Besides families, it also seems popular with college students and couples. Parking is easy and admission is $2 which isn't bad for what you get: access to several pumpkin patches, the corn maze, sunflower picking, farm animal viewing/petting, tractor rides, and amusements for kiddies including a game where you see who can pump water the fastest to float a rubber duckie down a slide. Yes, I had too much fun playing this duck race. I saw hot dogs and lemonade for sale, but nothing pumpkin-related such as pie. I think an opportunity is being missed! Local honey is available for purchase too which is cool. The pumpkins aren't cheap, but then again, you're paying for an experience. I recommend bringing your own shears if you have them since the patch might be all out. The big pumpkins are already detached from the vines but if you want a smaller one, you'll have to snip it yourself. Also, it sounds like Farmer in the Dell will be offering pre-cut Christmas trees during the holidays and will be having peaches next year, so it's not just squashes. Now I have that nursery rhyme in my head. Hi-ho, the derry-o, the farmer in the dell [pumpkin patch]!

If you want to experience the abundance of pumpkin harvest, you are exactly in the right place when you are in The Pumpkins at Callaway Resort & Garden, in Pine Mountain, Georgia. During our visit, we were immersed in the enchanting spectacle of pumpkins that transformed the landscape into a vibrant sea of autumn hues. The pumpkin displays were creatively arranged in various sizes and colors creating the spirit of fall. There were pumpkins carved in lanterns to imaginative pumpkin sculptures. It provided a perfect backdrop as everyone especially the kids and the kids at heart capture delightful photo moments. A destination within a destination, The Pumpkins at Callaway Gardens is a great fall escape.

I felt truly enchanted with it as if we were stepping into a magical realm from the pages of a fairy tale book. The cascading fantasy lights were mesmerizing. The pumpkins, giant bugs, butterflies, snakes glowed in blacklights. The Foggy Hollow was a mystical one with its soft blanket of mist draping the trees and anyone passing through. It was incredibly dreamy. The enchanting music, ground fog, the laser river enhanced the enchanting experience. As we went deeper into the forest, holographic displays of woodland critters appeared with the trees in the dark as their backdrop. I found myself glued to it. The Fobbles (fog-filled bubbles) completed the truly magical ambience and landscape. It was fun and a delightful experience that kids and adults loved. It was worth paying the tickets.

She had to leave and we were turned over to a very inexperienced Venue Director that worked another full time job and used that as an excuse constantly. She seemed uninterested in our event and made promises that she later had no memory of. Thank goodness for emails and text messages that I could use to refresh her memory. The venue was suppose to provide security but they did not rope off or keep an eye on the stairs to the rooms where valuables were being stored by the myself, the bride and wedding party, etc. My husband also witnessed the security guy and venue director watching football away from that area. Prior to our event it took days for her to respond to emails, texts, and phone calls. I was supposed to receive my $1000 security deposit 10 days after the event. About 14 days after the event I began asking about the deposit. No response. Finally, I got an email stating that a toilet seat had been broken during my event and a whopping cost of over $400 to replace. I was never asked to do a walk through before the event so I don't know when the toilet got broken. I am going to file a police report for the theft of the ring. You also have to rent tents, linens, place settings, etc. They don't have a caterer. You have to at least have a day of coordinator which was the best money that I spent. Bring your own command strips if you want to hang wreaths on the front doors. Bring your own lighters for your candles because they are not going to tell you that. Your candles have to be contained and you have to use their approved vendors and there was only one for alcohol. If you are going to drop 50 grand on a day, do it in another location. 5 stars for the grounds but 0 for the management.

I started off with the Moon Over Madagascar, and let me tell you--if this drink had a fan club, I'd be president. The black tea and vanilla combo sounded like a weird dare at first, but it ended up being shockingly amazing. Whoever came up with that mix deserves a bonus and maybe a parade. Now, let's talk about the shrimp and grits, because these were not just "good." These were "call your mama and tell her you've tasted greatness" good. The chef is from South Carolina, and you can taste every bit of Lowcountry pride in that bowl. Perfectly cooked grits? Check. Pile of blackened shrimp? Double check. A sauce that made me rethink my entire life? Oh yeah. If they sold that sauce by the gallon, I'd be bankrupt but extremely happy. Erica, our waitress, was an absolute rockstar. Super helpful, incredibly informative, and somehow managed to keep the perfect balance of friendly and professional--even on the Sunday after the Iron Bowl, when half of Auburn is stress-eating. The place was spotless too, which is impressive considering the emotional damage that game causes every year. Bottom line: The Hound is a must-visit. Come hungry, order boldly, and thank me later.
