The week before Thanksgiving, we were blessed to have a three night getaway to Red Top State Park in Acworth, Georgia.  This little piece of heaven is located just a few miles off the interstate.  On this particular trip, we did not tow our Jeep and just enjoyed staying at the park.  We were able to get in many hikes which Trooper and Mattie enjoyed.  For some reason, we didn’t have our cameras out but once to snap this year’s Christmas photo.  Sometimes, it is nice to put the technology down and just enjoy the time together.  Before heading home, we went attended a sporting clays event at Garmon Mountain, about 30 miles north in Waleska, Georgia.  If you are into sporting clays, this is a place you must visit.  If you are not into the sport, you need to plan on visiting anyway to dine at the restaurant on site – the Garland Mountain Grill.  Your taste buds will thank you!  Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas!
