Happy Father\u2019s Day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Early in the morning, mom and I got up to head on a Mother\/Daughter adventure. Mom just retired a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to take her on a special trip to celebrate. The trip was a surprise to her. I only told her what kind of stuff to pack and for how long. Our first stop was Sliding Rock. I had overheard her tell my aunt several months ago that she had never been here but had always wanted to go. We arrived early before the crowds. I went first to scope it out. NOTHING prepares you for dipping into 50 degree water! It was sooo cold! But it was a lot of fun and we went down the rock multiple times. On our way to the next stop we made a quick stop at Looking Glass falls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our next stop was Lake Chatuge. My friend Eileen was kind enough to let us spend the week with her. I wanted mom to have a relaxing and peaceful week with beautiful views and fun. Our first night we had rain but that didn\u2019t distract from the views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the day was kinda of overcast and cool, it wasn\u2019t going to be a great day to play on the lake. We decided to take a drive to Georgia and visit Brasstown Bald. We were unsure if we were going to have a view due to fog, but after about 10 minutes at the top, the sky cleared and we had a beautiful view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lake time! We floated, played games, went for boat rides, jet ski, and I water skied. We enjoyed lots of good food. We went to a seafood boil at a lakeside restaurant for dinner one night and cooked the rest of the meals. I always have a good time when I\u2019m here and I was happy to share that with my mom. I hope my mom enjoys her retirement and that we have more mother daughter adventures together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
