It is dark and rainy here in Georgia but we are very thankful for it. Our water supply is limited and the trees parched. But Saturday dawned blue and beautiful--perfect for a day trip.
I deserted the house early--even leaving beds unmade-- a rare promise of a leisurely pace to Tallulah Gorge and yard sales. The 2 yard sale promise fulfilled and a spontanteous stop at North Georgia Premium Oulets was permitted, if not encouraged.
"What do you think, 30 minutes?" David asked, hopeful (when we arrived at the outlets). That is, afterall, roughly 9 seconds per store. Who would want more? It was a fun 30ish minutes-- but a half a day and lunch with some friends would be perfect. Another day, maybe.
Tallulah Gorge was beautiful. 1000 steps to the bottom and we made it back up--to tell the tale. Even little Seth did more than half of the steps himself (don't worry, we'll go back and get him- lol-kidding!!) As usual, Samuel led the way down and back up--resting only a little--while David and I would make it landing to landing and rest.
With burning and trembling thighs, we made it to the van. “We had a great day, didn’t we mom?” Zachary asked. “We did. We really did,” I answered in gasps.
