Spring Break in the Mountains

Greetings from Helen, GA

Spending the day walking around town

Our vacation budget was awfully tight... hence the picnic lunch

It was cool this morning. Roy loved to sit on the porch and read on his Kindle

After a huge breakfast at The Dillard House

Angel playing the guitar

Lounging around and laughing while watching Modern Family

Pooped from a morning browsing around old antique shops

Roy and I hiked to the waterfall close to the mountain house

How blessed were we to have spent our Spring Break in North Carolina at my parent's mountain house. Roy and I had the same spring break off of work and school and Bonnie did as well. She and Angel came to join us for a few days in NC and we had an incredible time.

We spent a day in Helen, GA, which is an old German town. Everything from the food to the architecture has a European feel to it. It is a quaint little town with cute shops and restaurants. Boy was it warm too! We were expecting a cool week in the mountains, but it was in the upper 70s low 80s most of the time.

The rest of the time we sat around the house reading, listening to Angel play his guitar, cooking, playing games, hiking, eating (sadly!), going to the movies, watching Modern Family, and watching TV (none of us have cable so it was a real treat... and there was an HGTV House Hunters Marathon! Score!)

It was so incredibly relaxing!
