This year we took the 1,000 mile drive to Northern Georgia to see my grandfather and the beautiful part of the country that he lives in. It was great to spend time with him and to get to do all the things I grew up doing with my boys. Gary is a hiking fanatic, so we scheduled in some hikes. Since Grandpa is 82, he sat out the hiking portion of our trip. But he was a great tour guide and we couldn't have seen all these places without him! Our first stop was Amicalola Falls State Park.
Me, Grandpa, Grayson and Grant before we set out for a hike to the top of the falls.
Grant was a trooper. He was leading us the whole way and this was no easy hike. After climbing over a mile and 608 steps up, he turns around and says, "More stairs!" I was about to fall over!
Stopping for a nice family picture at the lower observation deck. I mistakingly thought we might stop here...
... no! Gary wanted to go to the top! So to the top we went!
Grayson fell asleep for everything. He did such a great job the whole trip even though he got a bit sick. Actually, both boys did a great job the entire time! We usually started our days fairly early, but were home by 3:00ish. That made it easy for the boys to relax before our next adventure began!
