Photos from Rock City and Ruby Falls

On the way down to the falls inside the caverns at Ruby Falls

I will be posting more photos on facebook sooner or later, but will post some on my blog today. Paula came to spend the week with us and we visited Chattanooga on Monday, Helen GA on Tuesday, and Ellijay GA on Weds. Cindy and I were college students in Chattanooga (Tennessee Temple) when we met and even got engaged on campus, so we always like to go back to visit. It was our home for four years. (Our first date was to the Thanksgiving Basketball tournament - 1974) We enjoyed visitins Ruby Falls for the first time, and Rock City.





Our grandkids would love this place!

Walking across a suspended bridge makes your toes tingle!


Helen, GA is a great place to visit, especially during a weekday. There were plenty of parking spots available at $2.00 for all day. We walked up one side and down the other of the main street, visiting as many shops as we wanted to do. The city looked like any other small Georgia town in the 1960's. Then they decided to remodel all the stores to look like a Bavarian (German) town, and the rest is history.

Trying to decide what to order from Hofer's Bakery and Cafe - we enjoyed our lunch there!

>Ellijay is "apple country" and the small town has plenty of antique stores to check out, but many are closed on Tuesday and Weds. We visited a few that were open and found some bargains. But the main reason we went was to buy apples. I think we ended up shopping at four different apple barns. Each one was unique and I believe the apples tasted different at each barn.
