Coffee Club goes to the Mountains

Everyone knows that this time of year the leaves in North Georgia are beautiful. So, we rented a van and hit the road. This was our first official Coffee Club Field Trip! And, we had a BLAST!

After church on Sunday morning Ricky and Hien went to Avis and picked up a 12 passenger van. Of course there was only 7 of us but we needed all the room! Then they headed over to Boo and N's to pick every one up. Terry came for a while, not realizing we were about to leave, but it worked out because she took a picture of all of us.

Our first stop was Panorama Apple House. As soon as we got there we were eating apple pies and ice cream. We bought perserves, apple butter and apples. Then we headed over to Mack Aaron's Apple House. That is Pet's favorite! We bought more apples and pies. We also got homemade meat skins, beef jerky and boiled peanuts. Then on to see the real *wink* reason we came-trees and leaves.

Ricky, our official driver, took us to Trackrock Campgrounds. It was awesome. The views there were breathtaking. The pictures just don't do it justice. There were still people camping there and a dog wandered up to us. She was so sweet. She let us pet her and followed us around a bit. Boo named her Chocolate.

From there, our driver took us through a couple of more campgrounds and then we headed to Dahlonega. There, we picked up Whitney from school and she went to eat with us at the Smith House. Then it was time to head home. We were gone for 10 hours and drove 325 miles! What a day. It was so much fun. I know we will do something like this again....just what? and when? Be sure to check out the pictures! I have them all posted!
