A Roughen Abode: Pine Hills Neighborhood

Another great thing about our new house is the neighborhood.  It is called Pine Hills, and is nestled in the southeast corner of Buckhead, among many tall, thin pine trees and rolling hills (hence the name...).

Everyone that we have met is very friendly and welcoming.  Many of our neighbors have school aged children, but some are young couples like us, just starting a family or thinking about it.

A great bonus is this great playground in the neighborhood that will certainly be a great place for Tripp to blow off some steam as he grows older.  There are swings and fun slides, and a separate section for toddlers, which is nice when there are lots of bigger (i.e. rougher) kids around.  Below are some photos from a recent visit to the park, where we checked out all the fun things to do there.

Fun times in Shady Valley Park!  Looking forward to many more to come.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  It is Georgia Tech homecoming, so stay tuned for photos from the Ramblin' Reck parade and other fun festivities.
