Helen, Georgia

This is the first of several 'catch-up' blogs. After we spent time with Bill's family, our little family took a few days to ourselves in the little town of Helen, Georgia.

I think this is Marie's favorite souvenir of the trip. We actually found a shop with TONS of UGA stuff in it. Although our pocketbook and suitcase prevented us from getting more stuff, we were quite pleased to bring back the UGA stuff that we did.


The flowers were in bloom and Marie was fascinated with them.


One afternoon we took a hike to Anna Ruby Falls. We were told it was more of a walk, but I assure you it was a hike! It was pretty to finally get to see the falls at the end of it though.


Helen, Georgia is a little tourist town. And it's pretty in a unique way. There are the soft Appalachian mountains in the background of this German-looking village. It was easy to get lost in the atmosphere of it all.


The last night there, Bill took us on a horse and carriage ride around the town. From the looks of it, I think Marie liked it.
