Hello from our fabulous Crockett Mountain cabin in beautiful Blue Ridge, Georgia!!



We left Augusta yesterday about noon, stopped in Atlanta for lunch at Mimi's Cafe and dessert to-go from The Cheesecake Factory and arrived here just before dark...Just in time to hit up the hot tub and settle in for a movie in front of the fire!

Last year we decided we would take the 4 hour trip on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway this year when we came back with my parents, but since they couldn't come this weekend we decided to wait til next time and took our own little day trip instead! We followed a self-guided scenic driving tour that was highlighted with a 4-mile extremely bumpy drive up/down/all-around a rocky mountain road that led to a 270 foot swinging bridge over the Toccoa River!

Tomorrow we'll be going to pick some apples, load up on apple fritters and visit our favorite mountain animals at Hillcrest Orchard!

Then, unfortunately, we'll be heading back home...But the fact that another cabin very similar to ours right down the road is listed at only $450k is quite enticing...Anybody wanna go halvsies with us??
