Nature Time

While we were in northern Georgia, John and I were able to get a quick hike in at Raven Cliff Falls, just a few minutes from where we were staying. Even though it was a holiday weekend it wasn't unpleasantly crowded and it was nice and shady. The views were spectacular and it was really relaxing (see, don't I look relaxed?).

 

Okay, I was slightly winded and excited about the view, but John nailed it:

There were beautiful waterfalls and the trail was challenging but still well within my weakling abilities. We talk about going to the mountains a lot (because we always enjoy it so much when we're there) but never seem to get around to doing it. While we were flipping through a local paper we saw several cabins that were in foreclosure, so on the way out of town we drove by and checked one out.

This one was $50K and was on a super cool (5 acre) lot with a creek near by. There were others as low as $24K, and it got us thinking about how nice it would be to have a vacation home someday. We'd fence it in so the dogs could run around and then try to rent it out when we're not there to hopefully pay for some of it. Of course we're just daydreaming now, but it's something to think about for the future, especially if the in-laws end up retiring near this area as planned.
