On May 24th on my drive from Chattanooga to Athens Georgia I stopped in Atlanta to check out the Atlanta Georgia Temple.
My next stop in my trip was to stop off at my friend Molly's house. She lives in Athens, Georgia where her husband is going to school.
May 25th Molly, her three girls, Ali, Andie, and Adalyn and I all went to Anna Ruby Falls.
It was a nice day if all you took into consideration was the temperature. For me it went from a nice day to a miserable day. It was extremely humid which even in the shade makes you feel like you are constantly dripping with water.
Molly kept laughing at me because she thought it was a lovely day. I think she has lived in Georgia too long and has become accustom to the humidity.
Adorable little Adalyn.
One of my favorite things in this life is the sound of running water.
Not any running water but that in the natural sense, river, stream, creek, ocean. The sound of the water is so mesmerizing.
I could spend hours just listening to the water.
Me and Molly

After we hiked the falls we stopped at the picnic area for lunch.
Here is another bridge. Me and my fascination with bridges.
Our next stop was Alpine Helen.
Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River, this Northeast Georgia village has a rich history linked to the Cherokee Indians and Indian burial mounds as well as early settlers who arrived to mine for gold and cut virgin timber for a thriving lumber industry in the early 1900s. Helen is a re-creation of an alpine village complete with cobblestone alleys and old-world towers.
This toy shop was a fun place. The characters up at the top of the roof does dances every so often throughout the day.
Alpine Helen is a lovely and quaint little town. So adorable. It made me feel like I stepped into the movie Heidi.
We stopped off for ice cream and in the store there were these cute little figures. The store owner and the guy she has running the counter make these little figures.
They also built a lollipop trees. I thought it was so cute.
On our way to the candle shop we saw baby bunnies in the yard.
They were so cute and fuzzy.
These candles were so awesome. There were all kinds of shapes and colors. We watched the lady work a little on curling and twisting part of the candle and it was fascinating.
Street performer.
Our next stop on our drive was Babyland General Hospital where Cabbage Patch Kids are born.
The big Cabbage chair.
Not comfortable at all. I am sure it is not intended for more than just picture taking.
Cabbage Patch Nanny
Cabbage Patch area where they babies are born.
It was incredible with everything that was there. A little of everything, Not only every type of doll but everything you would need for a baby they had it for the dolls.
Nascar Dolls
Salon dolls
The doctors delivering the baby. It was a boy!
Weighing and measuring the new baby boy.
It was a fun day and it brought back fun memories of my childhood and the cabbage patch doll I had as a little girl.
Thanks Molly for letting me stay with you and your family I had a great time and enjoyed seeing Georgia.
