Georgia's On My Mind

Georgia was amazing. I am in awe of God's goodness when we travel to different parts of the country/world. As we drove through northeastern Georgia the kids were so incredibly shocked at how magnificent the terrain was. I kept asking...does this look like Waco? Both kids would yell...NO!!!

We went as fast and furious as we could while in GA. I mean, you only live once...might as well get all the fun in while you can! We went tubing in the Nantahala River. Brad took a bit of a "tumble" out of his tube....you might want to ask him about that yourself. We saw the Biltmore Estate in N.C. Did you know that there are approximately 10,000 volumes of books in George Vanderbilt's Library? That's just a tad larger than the Neimer Family Library....

We panned for gold. The kids thought this ROCKED!! We rode a train from a cute, tiny town called Dillsboro to Bryson City, NC. Tay and Will loved it!! Once we stopped in BC, we went to a train museum and got ice cream.

In Atlanta, we went to the World of Coca Cola. How delicious!! We drank more Coke products than we thought HUMANLY possible. We all felt water-logged. Or Coke-logged I suppose. We drank drinks from every continent. STEAR CLEAR from a product called Beverly.

And, to top it all....we got to spend time with my college roomie...Angela and her family. Ask my kids...what was your favorite part? And, they'll respond...Auntie Angela!! Their home is so warm and inviting nestled among the trees in Dahlonega. The kids played perfectly together. Will cried as we left...he missed his friends. It was such a blessing to spend time with them. It was good for my heart.

Oh, and Sir Brad went white water rafting with Chris, Angela's hubby. They had a BLAST!!! And, he didn't tumble out of this one...like he did in the tube.

God is good...always.

Dillsboro (hehe)! I'll be sure to tell my mom not to drink herself. That's funny. Looks like you had a fun trip.
