Memorial Day Weekend

We had lots of activities over this fine Memorial Day weekend. We started out with a Braves game - that was great - Sally met us and we had a fine time. Pictures from that event to be posted soon.
We picked up Grandma Jane aka Mimi, Honey, Grandma (no decision yet on the official Grandma name). After several days getting to know Gainesville, we decided to venture out....we took a road trip to Helen despite D2's declaration "I hate Helen". Well, D2 was right - Helen is just terrible - basically a knock off, tourist trap version of a Bavarian City - who really needs to see a Days Inn, Bavarian style. Not to mention the bumper to bumper traffic. Yuck. After a quick stop at Bavarian Wendy's, we drove a little farther to Anny Ruby Falls where we found bumper to bumper PEOPLE - who knew a waterfall could be so popular. After a bit of a hike, we got to the falls. Just beautiful. Though it was a bit distracting watching people climb up the falls despite warning signs everywhere saying "people have died on these falls - don't climb."
