Going to the Spa!

Getting spa treatment on Vacation is always a must!! As you see here, I was getting a back rub at the Spa La Mommy! Nice and relaxing!

Helen, GA

After we went to Toccoa Falls, we drive through Helen, Georgia to get lunch. Helen is a German Bavarian town in the Mountains. Daddy tells me I am part German, so it was like I was re-tracing my roots! Our actual German name before it was changed a while back to Riddle, used to be Ridlehoover. How German is that!?!? I don't know if that is true or not, but I believe anything that Daddy tells me. So anyway, we were going to stop for lunch in Helen, but since we got a late start, it was already after 3pm and the restaurant we were going to was closed. So we walked up to my Motel (as you can see), the Heidi Motel and me and Daddy got some pictures. Then we went to the Troll Tavern and had lunch. Daddy had a Kraut Bratwurst and Mommy had a Garden Salad, and I had some milk. Then we left Helen and hit the road!

Love Always,

Toccoa Falls, GA

The first place we stopped along the way (other than the Georgia Welcome Center) was Toccoa Falls. It is located on the campus of Taccoa Falls College at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains (which are at the bottom of the Appalachain Mountain Range.) Mommy thought Daddy was getting lost but Daddy knew where he was driving. We drove to the parking lot and I got to ride in my stroller for the 2 minute trek up to the falls. It was a very high waterfall, about 186 feet tall to be exact! Toccoa means "beautiful" in the Cherokee language and it was definitely a beautiful backdrop for Mommy and Daddy to get some good pictures of me!

My First Mountain Trip!

Me and Mommy and Daddy and Isabel just got home from my first Mountain Trip!! I am going to be blogging about my adventures as time permits, but I just wanted to let everyone know we got home ok. We visited waterfalls and pumpkin patches. Visited Helen, Georgia, the land of my German ancestry (we even saw my motel!) Went to restaurants and tried out unique foods. Went trail hiking and visited state parks. Hung out by the campfire and roasted marshmallows. Went fishing and shopping in the downtown. We did lots of things in which I will document in my next few blogs. It was so fun! I think I will take my family back there again next year! It was so cool!

Love Always,

My First Wedding!

I went to my first wedding last night!! We had such a fun time! I partied late into the night (until about 8:45pm!) Julian got married to Heather. I don't know them all that well, but they tell me Julian is my 3rd cousin! Grandpa Riddle and his Grandma were brother and sister. Anyway, although it was a rainy night in Greer, we had a blast. Well, I was loud during the ceremony, so Mommy had to take me out back. I wasn't being bad, I was just voicing my opinion about the wedding. I am just a talkative little baby. Supposedly I get that from my Daddy. After we left the church, we went to Greer City Park. It was a convention center place. It was really pretty in there. We got to sit down and eat, and me and Mommy danced, and me and Daddy danced, and Mommy and Daddy danced, and then all 3 of us danced together! I was the life of the party (like usual!) I was like a hot potato with everyone passing me around! It was fun, I think I will go to another wedding one day. Looks like we have one scheduled for April!!

An Elf?

Who said I looked like an elf?? OK, maybe in this picture I do. But I don't work at the North Pole. I've never even been up as far as Minnesota. And no, that's not a reindeer in the picture, that's just my Moosie! I'm just a cute baby with an orange elf-like hat.

Hooters!

Since Aunt Shiner came to town and she LOOOOVES Hooters, we got to go to Hooters tonight! Daddy tried to talk us into going somewhere else, but us 3 girls (me, mommy and Shiner) out-voted him 3-1. All the Hooters girls wanted to hang out with me all night, which made all the other customers there upset, but what can I say, I am famous! Everybody wants to hang out with me, as shown in this picture!
