Fourth of July at the Lake House, Part III -- Day Trips

We went on a few day trips from the lake house. Next summer, we plan on taking even more. We're thinking about taking the kids tubing on the Chattahoochee near Helen, on a few hikes and into Clayton. This time our most successful day trip was into Clayton. Clayton has one of our favorite book stores with an awesome, cozy kids section. We went to the bookstore, hung out at a peaceful public garden and found our new favorite haunt -- a great coffee shop. The coffee shop has a train table that kept Eli and Keira happy while Scott and I relaxed and had a chance to chat. Here's a picture of me and the kids at the tranquil public garden.


Besides Clayton, we took a few other drives this trip. We took one drive to our favorite river spot on the South Carolina border. Another day we took a drive around looking for some poorly marked waterfall hikes and ended up having dinner and delicious fudge in Helen instead. Finally Scott, Keira and I drove to Clarkesville one day. We went to Clarkesville for a few groceries and stopped to let Keira play at the local playground for a few minutes.
