Helen Georgia

We were really wanting to go back up to Helen GA again this year to do some tubing (it's probably to chilly for that now) and mess around the quaint little town but time just got away from us. We went up there last year, tubed the Chattahoochie, went to a train museum and a bear habitate. This is a picture of my family standing in front of the bear habitate.


Bryant (Lacy's friend), Lacy, Michael, Christy (Michael's girlfriend), Matt and Jerry. Once you got inside you could buy food to feed the bears. I'll see if Jerry can show me how to put some of the pictures of the bears on my computer tomorrow and then I can put them on my blog spot. We rented a cabin last time in Helen and it was a real nice vacation. The town is really a friendly place. They are having Octoberfest up there right now, we may go one weekend for that. Here are a couple of sites on Helen http://www.helenga.org/ and http://www.habershamwinery.com/ Like I say it is a fun place to visit and there are hundreds and hundreds of little stores to go spend your money in. If we do make it up there in October we may stop by the winery also because we have been wanting to go to a winery and fine a wine we like anyway. About the last wine we ever drank was Boones Farm and we're a little old for that now but there are times when you are celebrating something where a good glass of wine would be nice compared to coconut rum or pina coladas.

I like to visit some of the places around Helen. The gourd place is fun, some of the water falls, Brasstown Bald.
