Helen, GA

Brett really loves fall, so now that we are on the East Coast, his dreams about seeing the colors of the leaves change will come true.  We really wanted to go to New York and meet up with Jordan and Becca, but with the chaos of the move and Brett's new job, we couldn't make it happen.  Bummer! So, to ease his pain, Brett decided that we would go to the "mountains" (what mountains?) and see some leaves change at a little German town called Helen.

They have a huge Oktoberfest every year.

Glad we snapped this picture because the place was a zoo the next night

On Saturday, we had a lovely brunch at the The Meeting Place in Helen and then went on a hike in Unicoi State Park around the Loop Lake Trail.  It was about 2 miles and I survived.  Usually I feel great after a hike, but being pregnant and in your third trimester is a totally different story.  It was great to get some fresh air and see some nature. As we walked, Brett realized that the trees were just not going to be like the north east, but he was still happy.

Our cute little cabin which was called "The Victorian Secret"

On Sunday morning as we were leaving Helen, we decided to take some pictures of the cute town.  Luckily, everyone was wiped out from Oktoberfest, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
