Mountain Retreat

We took our annual retreat to the Georgia mountains to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. I hiked on my own for the first time!

On the trail to the highest point in Georgia, Brasstown Bald.

The weather was windy and cold, but the brisk hike and my rabbit hat kept me toasty warm!

We made it to the top!

Beautiful views of the mountains in three states.

After hiking back down the moutain. Look how high we were!

Feeding chickens at a strange, charming (and expensive) restaurant in the middle of nowhere.

My seat at the campfire circle outside our cabin.

Swing time!

More swing time with Dad on the perch above the creek.

Relaxing and playing dominoes with Dad

My second hike of the trip on the Aska Trail. Following the white diamond!

Scaling these steps to great heights.

And finding usually plump trees...

Braving the river...well maybe not so much braving, as holding onto Dad for dear life!

Later in the weekend, we explored downtown Blue Ridge and enjoyed the spring-like weather.

Walking the Blue Ridge Rails with Dad.

A great family weekend escape and adventure!
