She's a Gold Digger

Oh, how do I follow my last entry? I will just start by continuing to tell you about our National Lampoon's Summer Vacation! Saturday, we went to Dahlonega, Georgia to pan for gold! We went up and around and down and over and ugh...I thought for sure I must have appeared physically green! I am not much for motion sickness, however, I am afraid of heights, so the winding coupled with the deadly dropoffs were just too much! We reached one point and we had been driving for what seemed like days, okay so it was only 2 hours, but the sign said we had 17 miles to go to get to Dahlonega. So, we drive and drive and drive until we reached the end of the road another turn and we had 5 MORE MILES TO GO! So I made the comment that I know where they get the term "country mile". THEY REALLY ARE LONGER! They MUST be twice as long as a regular mile! Did you know that it is completely normal to have a washer, dryer, bed, refigerator, AND/OR sofa on your front porch? Suh-WEET!

We got to the gold panning / gem searching adventure that followed with a great yee haw tractor ride. Then I almost cried as I realized we had to drive back to North Georgia. I truly did almost cry.
I also almost threw up, and Holden did scream at the tippy top of his lungs for the entire 2 1/2 hours, minus 20 minutes...whew hew! But, we made it back, praise Jesus! Good Times!
