well, you know the rest of the song! :) We just returned from a 10 day Hartsock family trip to our old stomping grounds in North Georgia near Helen, Georgia...courtesy of Emom! I have many childhood memories of tubing, hiking, horseback riding, and panning for gold. It was such fun! My kids had a blast and I loved showing Rob the area. Helen, Ga is an old Bavarian town/tourist trap. It has THE BEST funnel cakes and fudge and draws people from all of the surrounding towns. It was funny to count the number of Harley Davidson's and tattoos we saw...TONS! We ate tons of country cooking which was yummy but very difficult on our waistlines :)! My grandparents used to own a home there, but they sold it years ago. We rented a cabin and it was a great location and was pet friendly www.smokerisecabin.com

1. finding large emeralds while panning for gems
2. eating funnel cakes 2-3 times!
