Why I Live Here

Corey texted me from work Saturday morning to tell me that we were going "somewhere" when he came home.  He works half of a day every other Saturday, which is a major bummer, may I add.  I suppose he just felt like I needed a little "nature fix".  Or maybe (possibly) it was all of the "subtle" hints that I was throwing around. 

He arrived home shortly after 2:00pm and we set out on our little adventure.  I didn't have the slightest clue where we were going, only that we were driving in a direction we don't typically travel.  BUT I knew exactly where we were when we passed Tallulah Falls School.  I have been asking to go to Talullah Falls for ohhhhh about two years now. (??)  I, of course, was very happy to see that was where we were headed.

That may be a small understatement.
Okay. I may have actually squealed a little.

I absolutely love waterfalls.  And there are so many in these beautiful foothills to choose from.  I have been living in Georgia for over four years and haven't even seen them all.  Which, by the way, was part of the leverage that my dear, sweet husband used to get me to move from South Carolina.
But that's another story for another day...

I didn't get to see many waterfalls growing up in the flatlands of Ohio.  I believe that I traveled to Hocking Hills, Ohio once as a kid and that may be what spawned my addiction.  But truly, that is nothing compared to the gorgeous falls of NE Georgia.

We plan on going back to Talullah Falls when I have on shoes other than flip-flops we are more prepared and taking the long haul to the bottom where I can get some amazing pics.  Until then, these will just have to do.
