Autumn in the GA mountains

Anna Ruby Falls is a pampered hike (on a paved path) in the North Georgia mountains. We took a family day trip there Saturday before last to enjoy the colorful leaves and crisp air. This tree is famous for seemingly growing out of the rock!

A friendly hiker behind us snapped this family photo for us in front of the falls.

The falls is just outside of Helen, a quaint town built to resemble a Bavarian village (all the signs are in German and English!) and you can find this nice fountain in the center of town.

Cleveland, Ga is only a few miles from Helen and Anna Ruby, so we took quick tour of Babyland General Hospital, the birthplace of Cabbage Patch Kids, before heading back home.

Magdalena had been there twice before, but she loved all the babies and enjoyed seeing them as much as she did the first time.
