A Day in the Mountains

We decided to drive up to North Georgia to the mountains. It was a gorgeous day and the weather was pleasant. The leaves were almost finished changing so we were hoping to see them before they all had fallen.

We drove to Dahlonega and stopped in the downtown area to have lunch. We ate at a New Orleans style restaurant. It was delicious. We sat out on the balcony overlooking the square.

He was ready to stuff a handful of blueberries in his mouth!

He loves his fruit!

After lunch we drove to Amicalola Falls and decided to hike up a bit to see the falls.

Jackson really enjoyed our mini hike! He walked a good ways and we had to climb up and go down about 270 stairs! Now Camden on the other hand was not walking yet (even if he was wouldn't have been able to "hike") so it was quite exhausting carrying him the whole time!

It was an amazingly clear day and the colors were gorgeous

Camden is so ticklish!

Jackson and I did our surprise face and Camden kept laughing!

 He made a "telescope" out of a toilet paper roll and colored it and put stickers on it. He carried it everywhere and insisted he needed it on his hike. Love his budding imagination!

 And he brought his compass along so we wouldn't get lost he said. Funny though, when you ask him what his compass says he says it says its 6 o'clock, maybe 5:30. Every time. :)
