GA Mountain trip - Day 2






Well, we had a pretty busy day but we also spent time hanging out in the room too. We got up early to have breakfast in the lodge and it was absolutely delicious but much more than we normally eat for breakfast. There was another couple that were staying here that ate with us. They were a Christian couple and we had a really nice time chatting with them. After breakfast we headed to the falls. We had a bit of a hard time finding the road that led to the falls but once we found it the rest of the directions clicked well. We parked and started out walking what was supposed to be 1.2 miles but I'm telling you someone must have miscalculated because I'm pretty sure it was 50! All uphill! But, it was worth it, just when we thought we were going to come around a corner and find our car, we started hearing rushing water. It was beautiful and well worth the climb. I'm sure our legs will be pretty useless tomorrow though :-) The picture of dad walking up the trail is how we hiked - he fought off the bears and cougars for me. After burning off the calories from breakfast with the hike we decided we needed to refuel. We went back into Dahlonega and ate at the Crimson Moon cafe. The couple that we had breakfast with had eaten there the evening before and said it was good so we tried it out. It was good. We both had wraps, mine was a southwestern wrap which meant it was a little spicy but it was so good I ate it anyway! From there we went back up to the lodge and had a nap, well, I had a nap, Dad was on the computer. We went back into town for dinner and ate at a little Italian place. It was quite good as well, one thing this place has is some awesome food! It reminds us of our time in Charleston, SC - we didn't have a bad meal there either. Tomorrow we will get up and have breakfast and then head to Bell Buckle. Our reception on the cell phone will be a little better there. We love you guys!
