A Weekend in Ellijay

One of my most favorite places (besides OBX) is Ellijay, GA.  There's something about the drive up 515 with the north GA mountain view right in front of you.  On Superbowl Sunday, while the game was on mind you,  Daddy was busy texting Carmen, Rick, Trish, and Mike about going to Ellijay for an adults only weekend to celebrate my birthday.  Major kudos to Daddy for looking at the calendar and figuring out what weekend would work best for everyone!  You two stayed behind with Granma getting SPOILED rotten!  You had breakfast with the Easter Bunny, made Build A Bear animals and colored until you could color no more.  Daddy and I headed up to the cabin on Thursday after work, and Rick and Trish weren't far behind.  We had SUCH a great time!  It was the most perfect way to spend my birthday weekend, staying in our pj's all day, staying up super late, and sleeping in past 7:30 a.m., eating whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted, watching trashy tv, and reading.  On Friday, Carmen and Brandon joined us and we all sat around on the covered porch overlooking the Ellijay River listening to the rain fall.  The weekend went by way too fast, but I'm pretty certain it was what we all needed, a few days away from reality.
 Pretty boy, Nicky loved relaxing on the porch.
 Where we spent our evenings by the fire and tv.
 VERY funny conversations were made at the dinner table, of all places!
 The porch of my dreams....sigh, one day....
 ROUGH picture, but just goes to show that there was no make up being applied on this vacay.

 "THE" Boulder, there were strict rules about this thing.
