Like most of the world, my family spent Christmas at home, with family. However, since my sister and I did not get out of school until the 22nd of December, (way too late!) we still had two weeks left of Christmas vacation! This year, we went to our cabin for a week. Our cabin is located in the small north Georgia town of Blue Ridge. So... like I'll do with all my travel posts, here are the top five things you should know/do in Blue Ridge.
1.If you go in the summer... GO TO LAKE BLUE RIDGE! This is an incredibly beautiful lake, and there are many public access points. Also, if you want to rent a pontoon boat for a day outing (which is incredibly fun!)... here's the website.
2. Go tubing on the Toccoa River. This is a great river, and if you go with the Toccoa Valley Campground company (webiste here) it should take about 2-3 hours, depending on what time of year you go. (The length of time varies because later in the summer there is less water in the river.)
3. Get a wild west picture taken at River Junction Olde Tyme Portraits. This is such a fun place to go, and it only takes about twenty minutes to get a hilarous picture that will last a lifetime! (website here)
4. Visit the store POSH. This is such a fun store! Everything has a very personal touch. Plus, they get their products from induvidual dealers, so they are always unique! This store is in downtown Blue Ridge.
5. Go hiking on the Aska Trails. These are gorgeous trails with stunning views and great color in the fall. They also intersect with some of the most famous trails in the South East, like the Appaliacian Trail and the Benton Mackaye Trail.
And's here what we look like when my family goes to the mountains!
And one last thing...If you want to spend at weekend our cabin (which is a rental) the website is here. I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas break! Has anyone else been to Blue Ridge? Tell me about it in a comment!
