Yesterday we spent the most of the day touring some of the north Georgia mountains. Beginning at the Lollipop Store in Hiawassee, the kids loaded up on candy of all sorts.
We left the Lollipop Store for a place that creates fantasy fairy houses. I was with the girls, ok? While it sounds "chick-ish," the houses were quite interesting. The craftmanship was impeccable. I'll post some pics a little later.
We left the fairy houses and went to a place called "Pappy's Riverwalk." Lots of shops and mountain nick nacks. Anna even had an opportunity to feed the gigantic carp from the deck overlooking a mountain stream. These fish were gi-normous. We speculated that none of them could live in the wild anymore since they were so used to being fed from the deck.
We went to a restaurant there at Pappy's. I ordered a BBQ sandwich. Expecting authentic BBQ, I got something that was straight out of the can. Aaron (we call him Mr. $10.99) ordered the most expensive 10-piece wing dinner he could find with hot wing sauce. He had acid reflux the rest of the day.
After our exciting venture into Pappy-ville, we went to Georgia's highest point, Brasstown Bald. (pics to come soon). Towering at 4,784 feet, the temperature there was in the low 70's. Brasstown Bald affords visitors an opportunity to see 4 states. You can hardly make out which mountain is which but the serenity was worth the price of admission ($4) + a ($3) shuttle ride up the steep slope.
Back to the cabin after a full day for steak and baked potatoes on the grill.
I'll post some pictures soon so come back to see.
