REFRESHING

After a few really hard nights, this is just what we needed: an evening spent outside with friends. These great folks showed us around Red Top Mountain park, which is pretty close, but we hadn't yet explored. We had a beautiful lakeside picnic



(you can see how hot we all are here!)




and then went for a hike through an enchanting forest, ending at a remote little beach, where we took a refreshing swim (enough adjectives for you?).





Like I said, it was just what we needed. Thank you, friends. Once again, we have renewed energy from being with friends, seeing more of Georgia's beauty, and a good night's sleep.
