We're off to visit George Thompson and Joanie in their Highlands, NC Get-Away. We've always wanted to visit the Cashiers/Highlands area, so we're excited. The drive started off nice and dry, until we reached the mountains surrounding Cashiers/Highlands, then the liquid sunshine appeared! After arriving at George & Joanie's lovely lakeside home, we learned that we were actually in a temperate rainforest. Who knew???? George told us that it rains over 80 inches per year! Wow! Joanie prepared a fabulous dinner - chicken parmesan, salad, and Italian bread - which we totally enjoyed. After dinner, we watched a movie, and visited, visited, visited. It was such fun getting acquainted with Joanie, and reminiscing with George.

After a delicious breakfast prepared by George, we departed on a tour of the lovely area, including the country club/golf course that employs George, Highlands Falls. All I can say is OMG!!!!! It is beyond description! We rode around the course to view the famous Hole #15, ranked in the top 100 of the most beautiful golf course holes in the world. Yep! Then, we toured the area to include a stop at the Cashiers Farmers market. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Randevu Restaurant, then came back home to watch The Notebook! What a terrific day.

We started the morning by feeding the sweet geese that Joanie has trained! Seriously, she walks out to their dock, and the geese magically appear for oatmeal!
After a wonderful breakfast, we load up for our drive home. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Joanie and George for a most relaxing, fun-filled weekend. Can't wait to see you in Atlanta!
