Lazy day Sundays in Augusta, GA

Sundays have to be my absolute favorite day of the week, especially in the fall and spring. There are so many great oportunities for relaxation. One thing that my family can typically count on is the arrival of the hot air balloons on Sunday afternoon. We were lucky enough to see one taking off a few weeks ago in a big field behind the Kroger in Evans. Somedays we see 2 or 3 floating in the sky over Martinez/Evans, but today we only saw one. We also saw a paraglider sailing high above the treetops today(brave soul). My kids' favorite activity usually involves heading to the Greeneway or the towpath at the Augusta Canal. Whether you like biking or walking, these are definitely the places to go. I believe the Greeneway in N. Augusta is about 12 miles from end to end. The paved trail winds through neighborhoods and at one point provides great views of the Savannah River. The Augusta Canal is a great choice for birdwatchers. The unpaved path along the Canal is the original towpath used to guide boats down the Canal toward the city of Augusta. It's several miles long as well. Here's to enjoying lazy Sundays in Augusta - I'd love to have you share your favorites with me!
