A Morning in Helen, Georgia

For a few years, it’s been on our (not quite bucket) list to visit Helen, Georgia. And I love Christmas and the town looked even better at Christmas time, so we took a quick little road trip yesterday.

We got there early enough that there were not that many people around. In fact, we kinda wondered why there were so few people. Well within about an hour, all of the peoples arrived.

We didn’t really have any plans. Just wanted to see what it was like and then try the food. Of course we visited some of the shops - not super impressed. It was kind of the mountain version of what one would see at Myrtle Beach.

We had to try some of the food as well. Had an early lunch featuring Vienna coffee and bratwurst. And it was good!

After about three hours, we felt as fulfilled as I think we’d ever be by Helen. Good trip. Probably no need to visit again. We came, we saw, but we didn’t get the t-shirt this time.
