We FINALLY made it onto Georgia Gold Rusher at Six Flags Over Georgia! We don’t have the BEST track-record with Six Flags Over Georgia (see our visit in 2023 and our visit in 2025) but since we were only about 90 minutes away (on a grand extended family vacation in the mountains of Helen, Georgia),...
This is our day spent at Six Flags Over Georgia (and all the ups and downs of the day it was!) We don’t have the BEST track-record with Six Flags Over Georgia (case and point: HERE) so when we added it to the itinerary of our “big beautiful spring vacation”, we had high hopes that...
We had been watching the weather for Jackson, New Jersey – the town Six Flags Great Adventure is in – and it didn’t look good.In fact, it looked downright abysmal. We were getting ready to head out on our first roller coaster riding trip of the year – our first stop was at Kings Dominion...
When we took our “big” spring vacation this year – we put ONE brand new, never-before-been-to, park on our roster – and that was Six Flags Over Georgia. We’ve driven up and down the East Coast (from our home in Pennsylvania down to Florida) multiple times, but Six Flags Over Georgia had never made the...

Hi! I'm Kara!
Welcome to my blog!
I'm a Pittsburgh-based wedding photographer and wedding content creator with a love for storytelling, both on wedding days and beyond.
I've been part of the wedding industry since 2009, documenting 250+ wedding days and helping couples preserve the moments, big and small, that make their day uniquely theirs.
When I'm not working a wedding, you'll probably find me creating videos for my personal YouTube channel, The Adventuring Abbeys, where my family and I share our love of amusement parks, roller coasters, and travel.
Around here, you'll find wedding inspiration and behind-the-scenes content, family adventures, amusement park visits, travel stories, and a little bit of everyday life.
I'm so glad you're here!
