We went to Helen, Georgia which is a German style town that holds an Oktoberfest every year. Yep, I was pretty much born during the best time ever. And since I'm half German I am always interested in German stuff! Here are just some of my pictures ...
This was a beautiful little place. German food, beer, bakeries, shops, horse carriages, biergartens/outdoor areas, there was a craft fair, and you can even go tubing on the river if you want to. It's a bit touristy but it's laid back, everyone was nice and is pretty much just there to have fun. My husband and I pretty much just wandered around aimlessly and just did whatever we wanted. Oh and I also found Viking heads!
We camped out at Unicoi State Park which was just about 5 minutes outside Helen. It had been way too long since I had been camping so it was just what I needed. Camping is very relaxing to me, especially sleeping in a tent! The campsites were a little close to each other but it was ok, our camp neighbors were all really cool. I got up early Sunday morning and walked the lake trail which might have been 2-3 miles. I even spontaneously jogged part of it - I couldn't help it!
Yep! I had a good time. Unfortunately I started coming down with a cold on Friday, and I'm sure this adventure didn't help it any. I've been struggling through it these last couple days, but I'm thinking in another day or two I will be able to get back to training.
On the 13th I will be returning to Conyers, GA - the home of the GA Spartan Sprint! But this time it's for the Merrell Down and Dirty race. Only the 5k version for me this time around. I've heard great things about this race so I'm eager to get up there and see what it's all about!
