This past weekend we spent a relaxing three days with David's family at a cabin on Lake Nottely near Blairsville, Georgia. It's always nice to get away from the city and spend some time in the mountains. We saw a bear, caught some fish, swam and kayaked, and ate way too much food. We hope to make this an annual tradition!
