Helen Trip


Josh had a short break before beginning the next semester so we took a little trip to Helen Georgia. Helen is a small town at the base of the smokey mtns. (surrounded by state parks) it ws re-done by a german architecht (about 50 years ago) to be a old German style town. Lots of little shops, antique stores, authentic restaurants, and other cute little things to see and do.


We visited Helen's "Cabbage Patch Babyland General Hospital" and saw the birth of a Cabbage Patch! (I loved cabbage patches when I was little, so this may have been as much for me as it was for Mill. ha ha)

This is a Shop/restaurant that had it's roofs covered with grass and the goats would hang out up there during the day! (see the goat just to the R. of the 'goats on the roof' sign?)


We read about this place online and had to make a stop. Delicious boiled peanuts. Josh had been telling me about boiled peanuts for years, but this was my first real experience with them.

The highlight of the trip for Mill was this Lolly pop from "Hansel and Gretel's Candy Kitchen" to bad it was broken when we opened it up!

That looks like so much fun! I love the cabbage patch picture and Millie is so cute and looks like she didn't care if the lolly pop was broken!

I cannot believe how big Millie is. Does Logan look that grown up to other people? To me he is still my baby, but he and Millie are only 2 weeks apart...so does he really look like a full on toddler like her? She is adorable!

I still cannot get over how gorgeous that family photo is at the top of your blog. Maybe one day I will, but today is not that day. :) The lollipop looks exceptionally delicious right now ...
