With this busy life — the job, the kids, the endless obligations and never ending to-do lists — it's nice giving yourself a little break when you can. Taking a vacation is a good remedy, but who's got time for that?
Sometimes, the best one can hope for is a little quiet time. And, let's be honest, there's nothing like a screened-in porch to relax and decompress from the day's madness. Here are a few homes in and around Atlanta with great porches for unwinding at the end of a hectic day.
