On the way up we enjoyed some fabulous, though extremely right-wing barbeque at Poole's in Ellijay. The place was plastered from floor to ceiling with photos of the owner with every major Republican in Georgia, and some from D.C. The shrine to Pat Buchanan was our favorite part.

Fall in North Georgia
We had a really nice weekend, including a suprise visit from Myra and Allan who were stuck in Atlanta trying to get a flight to South America. We spent Saturday hanging out with them and walking around the Va-Hi area before they flew out that night. Sunday we hit the road and traveled North to Ellijay, GA to do some "leaf peeping" and a visit to a rip-off known as Hillcrest Orchards. The kids loved it but it was pretty darn tacky. Highlights included a petting zoo (for an extra fee, of course) and a tractor ride through the orchard. It's past the season to pick your own, but you can buy stuff in the store. We left with some cider and donuts and the girls slept the entire way home.
