Vacation Day 3: Helen, Nora Mill Granary and Unicoi State Park

Our third day in Georgia we headed a few miles north to the alpine town of Helen. Apparently Helenites aren't awake as early as we are, so we missed most of the shopping, but it was still worth the trip.
Helen, GA Grayson checking out the Chattahoochee River. One of my favorite things to do in Helen is to go tubing down the river. We debated about whether we could do it with the kids, but ended up deciding that a walk next to the river might be easier this time.
Daddy and Grant wading into the river. We went to an old fashioned photo studio after our walk in the river and got some pictures of the boys. They are super cute, but I have no digital copies. You'll have to use your imagination.
Lunch at The Troll Tavern. It was so much fun sitting next to the river and watching the tubers. I was only a little jealous!
After lunch, we headed to Unicoi State Park to swim in the lake. It was beautiful and we had such a great time.
Swimming with my boys!
Grayson fell asleep, of course.
This area had a beach entry, so it was super easy for Grant to just run into the water!
After we left Unicoi, we headed to our favorite grist mill, Nora Mill Granary. Every time we are in the area, I stock up on biscuit and bread mixes. Yumm-o!
