Visiting Helen, GA

We recently went for a week visit in Helen, Georgia.
Helen is a quaint town in North Georgia, recreated to mirror a Bavarian German style setting.


 We spent the week in one the villas/condo as seen in this picture. 





 Our purpose was to rest and relax, go out on birding trips, and explore the surrounding areas including the various State Parks.

That's a lot to do in one week.  But we managed to do a little bit of all of the above.  The snow and cold days forced us to stay in, relax by the fireplace, play games.

 We went out to Unicoi State Park one day, Vogel State Park on another day, and did a lot of hiking around Helen and the resort areas where we saw over 50 bird species.

Mama, Debbie's mother, was with us and has enjoyed the trip and outings as well.
