North Georgia Mountains

The weekend after the river adventure, we (Cole , Ashley, and our 2 dogs), decided to drive up to north Georgia to show Cole & Ashley Young Harris College AND hike 8 miles from the campus to the highest point in Georgia, Brasstown Bald, which has a summit elevation of 4,784 feet above sea level.We knew the hike would take a while, but actually took much longer then I thought it would...a total of 4+ hours to complete the entire hike, but thankfully we got to drive back down since we took two cars to the summit.

Even though we were extremely tired from the long hike and the drive home, we somehow made it out again that night to grab some cheap dinner at TDS, Taqueria Del Sol and rewarded ourselves with delicious homemade ice cream at Jeni's Ice Creams.

One average, especially on the weekends, the line is wrapped around the building and into the parking lot just to get it- obviously a local favorite. The best part of the entire experience it getting to try all the delicious flavors.

Autumn

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year, not only for birthday purposes, but it is finally a time when there is NO MORE humidity, and the temperatures start to drop making it very pleasant to enjoy the outdoors. It seems as though the second it becomes acceptable to start wearing flannel and boots, fall has officially arrived in full force. Since the weather in Georgia is beautiful around this time of the year, Richard and I always enjoy spending time outdoors by going for long hikes or trying to expend as much of Addie's energy that we can. However, now that our best friends/ Richard's cousin and his wife have moved to Atlanta, we have taken full advantage of this time outdoors together.  Not only are we close to them, but the Sessions have a dog as well. His name is Wesley, but most people call him"Wes" for short. He is an adorable 120lb silver lab who is very easy going when it comes to being around a younger dog. Since we have never gotten the dogs together in a big group, their first adventure together was at the river, which they LOVED!
