Helen or Bust

Finally the day had come, it was time for a good ole' fashioned Girl's trip!  We had planned this trip for March but Covid got in the way of this one as well! We are persistent though and we did not give up on our dream...we just switched it up a bit.  We turned it into a little road trip just to add in some adventure.  We found ourselves in northern Georgia and I'll be honest...it was a wonderful surprise.  We had equal parts relaxation, hiking/adventure, adult beverage drinking and laughs.  Georgia, surprisingly enough, is full of waterfalls and beautiful scenery so we had no shortage of things to go see.  I even convinced everyone that it would be a tragedy if we didn't visit the Cabbage Patch General Hospital so I could adopt a baby for Miss Everly.  I'm so thankful these girls are willing to give in to my ridiculous requests, and Baby Alice is thankful as well :).  The only thing we did not accomplish on this trip was finding a bear for Julia, which was her wish...not mine.  We did however think we heard one while we were on a hike, but no-one was brave enough to stick around to see if we were correct.  We will find her a bear on a different trip, perhaps one to the zoo.  So here are some pictures from our adventure (in no particular order or reason), some highlights:  the town of Helen (oddly looks like Germany in the middle of the Georgia Mountains), the wineries (my favorite was Yonah Mountain Vineyards), school bus graveyard (apparently one of the top 5 things to see in Georgia, though I'm not sure I'd give it THAT much credit), Cabbage Patch General Hospital (duh), Georgia Mountain Coaster, Talullah Gorge State Park and some other waterfalls that I have no idea what the name of them were but the locals told us to go...and we listened!
