Conference Weekend in Helen

This weekend we went on a trip with our friends Tiffany and Chris to Helen, Georgia. Helen is a German alpine-themed village in the north Georgia mountains. The village was so cute, the scenery so beautiful, the cabin so awesome, and the trip so relaxing. Chris and Tiffany rented this awesome cabin and invited us to come with them. (We had actually never met Chris before but he and John became fast friends, it was a beard thing...) The cabin could have fit 10 people, it had a pool table, a foozball table, a grill, a hot tub, and a tv and it was right on the river. We had a lot of fun playing nertz, scum (President Tiffany won every round...), and taboo.
We drove up on Friday and met in town with enough time to stroll through the super cute downtown. All the buildings were German-style and so cute. We went to a cookoo clock shop and had dinner at a german restaurant. I was excited for it but it ended up being an interesting experience. I thought I was getting a sampler plate (I couldn't decide what to get) and ended up getting a plate with four meals on it: pork chop, pork loin, and two -wurst sausage things. It was an experience, I can say no more.


On Saturday we went to Unicoi National Forest and hiked around the Unicoi Lake. It was a beautiful day and we all got sunburnt. Tiffany and I put our feet in the lake and it was freezing!

On Sunday we drove home, and with the help of John's love for technology and the iphone, we listened to conference. It was great because we didn't have anything distracting us and we got to talk about it in between sessions. My favorite part of the trip was being with John and being able to talk with him the whole trip up. The whole trip was a ton of fun, it was great to see Tiffany, get to know Chris, play games, and explore in nature. Thanks Tiffany and Chris!
