Great Weekend

We had a great weekend! On Saturday, we went to Tallulah Gorge with Isaac, Cade, Michelle, and Kyle. We walked to the bottom and back up the other side. There are over 600 steps going down and then back up again. Then we walked all around the perimeter. We were all tired at the end but it was well worth it. It is absolutely beautiful to see. Then we left there and went to Jaemor Farms on our way home. It is a huge farmers market where they grow a lot of their own fruits and vegetables. They have a smoke house where they make BBQ. They have homemade jams, preserves, and pickled things. But best of all is their homemade ice cream. They only have two flavors at a time. We got the strawberry. It was delicious. They also bake their own breads. We brought home a sourdough loaf. On Sunday, we had a birthday dinner for my mother-in-law. Russ smoked beef roast on the grill and I cut up and toasted the sourdough bread. We all enjoyed that along with other sides. Then to cap off the weekend we spent Sunday evening at Chatooga Bell with our friends. It is where we like to go to see amazing views of the mountains as well as the night sky. They have a beautiful barn with outside seating and a cool circle for seating also. They have vineyards and a small gift shop. We wanted to see the moon as it rose because it was supposed to be huge. I am sure it was an amazing site but there were clouds all around and we missed seeing the moon rise. But it was hard to be too bummed because the view is so spectacular and it is just a very peaceful place. Adventure is out there!
