Helen, GA Vacation - Day 1

 

Monday, December 30th, we left at 7am for our New Year vacation in Helen, GA.  We always stop if there is a Buc-ees on the way.  Gas was $2.75!  Hooray! 

It seemed like quite the drive but we made it!  We were early for check in to the cabin so we ate our picnic lunch that we brought in the cooler.  Then we took a walk around Unicoi Lake which was nice to enjoy!



Addie's boyfriend, Brad, drove from his home in North Carolina to join us.  We always enjoy having him with us. :)


These are the cabins that I booked for us to stay in.  They are called barrel cabins.


They overlooked the lake and walking path.  


Little streams are my favorite!







In the mountains!


The water was surprisingly clear.









My peeps.



Eating our lunch. :)



Autumn - ha!






The name of this road made me laugh!


We checked into our cabin.  Here are some photos I took quickly before we moved in!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
