Yesterday we had a great family day!! We went to north GA to see the fall colors. When we left our home the temperature was in the mid 50's. When we arrived at Brasstown Bald to picnic and climb the mountain (the highest point in GA) the temp. had dropped to 48. Which in its self isn't too bad, but with gale force winds it was fridged!!!!!! Most of our picnic was spent chasing napkins!! We actually had to pull clothes out of the goodwill donation bag in the back of the van to cover the legs of a few of us that had decided to wear shorts. The climb to the top was only .6 miles but it went up about 2,000 feet in elevation!!! Almost straight up!! Everyone made it to the top, some with more coaxing than others ;) The views were amazing!It was a great "family day"
Looking south toward Atlanta.
The kids were literally freezing!! Temp. was just above 4o on the look out point and the winds, well you can see how strong the winds were ;) Mtns. in the back are the Carolinas.
Our sweet "Rae" of autumn sunshine!!
Our kiddos are growing soooo fast, it was such fun to take a day to stop and see the beauty all around us!
