Road Trip to Helen, Georgia

Sunday finds both Robert and I off for the day, which is a very unusual event lately. We decide to spend some quality time together and take a ride to Helen, Georgia, which is about two hours northeast of Marietta.

So what are some of the signs that you are in the country?

1. Piggly Wiggly - when is the last time you saw one of these?
2. Ewes and shetland ponies on the side of the road
3. 9 out of every 10 vehicles is a pickup
4. Abundance of RV dealerships, as well as churches and tanning salons
5. S & H Trading stamps accepted here!
6. Boats worth three times the mobile home they are parked in front of
7. Hot Tubs and Billiards Sold Here!

To fit in with the locals, Robert and I decided to dress the part. He with his Tony Stewart t-shirt and I with my redneck t-shirt that says, 'Ever so slightly spolied' in little psuedo rhinestones. And tennies, which I never wear.

Our finds of the day? Chocolate, t-shirt with basses and a walking cane (for the Living Room decor.)

Fun stuff includes the guy who played a ???????? (check out the pix) and getting out pix as local beer drinkers!

We took a little trip to try out some of the fishing, but to no avail. Don't fret though, I did get some good pix! (You can even see the worms that we set free. It's so clear - you can't even tell it is water!)

You'll have to take a look at our new blog, Robert and Sheri on the Road for more pix.
