Labor Day/Anniversary weekend

Well it took 4 years, but we finally got up to the No. Georgia mountains... and loved it! I guess, being New Englanders, I shouldn't be surprised that we enjoyed it so.

We rented a cabin for the Labor Day weekend and left when I got home from work Friday night. The first night was spent at a cabin along the river at the base of the mountain. We weren't too thrilled at this, but that was our only option other than to cancel our weekend plans altogether. You see, the cabin we rented had an issue with the well, so we were divereted to this other cabin.

Fortunately, we received a call Saturday morning advising our original cabin was now available. They discovered the well needed a new pump, which got replaced. A much better scenario than the well being dry!

So, we packed up and headed for the mountains for the remainder of our stay. We fell in love with the place instantly, as we walked in the front door. So cozy and warm and inviting. Nicely decorated and homey. It had a wrap-around porch with the back portion screened-in and housing a hot tub.

It was just so calming and serene. We relaxed the rest of the day, drank wine and had ribs for dinner. The first time in many years that hubby had to grill with charcoal! He grilled expertly, and I wasn't the least bit concerned about how anything would turn out!

We woke up Sunday, our 18th wedding anniversary, and headed to the National Forest. We hiked the Flat Creek Loop, a total of 8 miles. Afterwards, we stopped at an orchard and loaded up on apple cider, a small loaf of cinnamon bread, and an apple and cherry turnover. The hot tub did wonders for my aching muscles that evening!!!!!

My (bad) luck with my cameras continues. The battery is dead, therefore, no pics. However, I am able to include pics of the cabin from the website where the cabin rentals are posted...
