It's been a long time since I've posted anything on this blog. Probably because my plans were far too ambitious, I felt overwhelmed. So, I'm back to it now with fewer goals.

| Morning Hike Near Carter Lake |
Last week, we headed to Atlanta and drove north to
Ellijay, GA to a cabin in the North Georgia Mountains. We missed the fall colors in the mountains through Atlanta was warm and bright. The Appalachian Trail isn't on my bucket list, but I was excited to see the entry point to the famous trek. We took all of the kids and climbed 475 steps to the top of a water fall and could see the blue shadow of the mountains in the distance.
Our cabin was big and cozy and we could hear every footstep echo. The kids experienced for the first time a little bit of the South -- grits, Piggly Wiggly, hospitality and manners, and words like "ain't" and "y'all". And, we ate and then ate some more.
