Sadly Augusta is too far away from Gwinnett County right now. We hopefully will be bringing our twins home from the NICU around that time, so we won’t be traveling far. If you ever make it out this way I’ve got a couple good spots to meet, both the food and beer are good!

@Kasey I’ll find out the wife’s plans for us. We got some things in Atl happening but I know we gotta go see family there also. Would be good times I’m sure!

@Muffingod I hope all goes well and you get them home soon as planned. Going to be a great Christmas present for sure! Will say some prayers for you and family .

Thank you @BiggerBadDawg ! Fortunately they’re not sick, they’re just small from being 5 weeks early.

Yes, there's things to do. Where are you coming from? If you're coming from say Atlanta, then there's less things to do obviously, but there's plenty to do. Guess it depends on what you like to do on whether it will be a good fit for you.

Grew up in an Atlanta suburb and live now in south Texas in a college town. Definitely gonna be prepared for a culture shock of boredom, but I just want to know exactly what I’d be signing up for.

Sounds fantastic lol. I’m thinking I’ll live in north Augusta or Aiken if I take the job, and may have to travel every weekend if it’s that bad.

It’s not that terrible. I’m teasing a little. There’s good bars and restaurants around now but when I was growing up it was boring

How old are you Kasey?

There is a small bar scene downtown but that's about it.

It's definitely not a crazy college town. There's Augusta University with about 9,000 students, but for things to do here's a some things I recommend:

Downtown/Broad street area is the best for both bars and restaurants, there's some other decent places off of Walton Way a few miles from downtown. A couple of breweries have popped up in the last 3 or so years. I like the Savannah River Brewing Co. the best of the two.
Go to the Masters, might as well even if you don't like golf, these are the hardest tickets in all of sports to get. You can see what an unlimited budget can do for your landscaping. You can usually find people that end up not being able to go getting rid of their tickets, or can find people outside the course giving their tickets away when they leave early.
Not much to-do with high level sports being played here, there's minor league baseball team (Augusta Greenjackets) that just built a nice stadium on the river in North Augusta. They do thirsty Thursdays if you want to go on the day most folks go.
If you like outdoors, there's the river and lake to go out and enjoy. Plenty of golf, disc golf, etc around town too. Several adult sports leagues if you want to play softball, flag football, corn-hole, kickball, volleyball, etc.
There's several venues you can check shows out at; Imperial Theatre, Miller Theater, Bell Auditorium, James Brown Arena, Lady Antebellum Pavilion/Evans Towne Center Park.
There's a few museums (art and history) if you're into that, as well as historic tours around town. The tour on the canal boat was pretty good. Gives the history of Augusta, mainly during the Civil War, while going down the Augusta Canal.

Guess I should've asked what you liked to do, as that could help determine what I put on the list. But the above is the basics. Also, if you're not digging Augusta, Atlanta is 2 hours away, Columbia is a little over an hour, Savannah is 2 hours away, the beach (depending on which one) is 2-3 hours away.
