Day 4: After dinner in Atlanta, we drove a hour and a half north to John's aunt and uncle's house in Ball Ground, GA. Their house is set on about 10 acres (I think) of land, most of which is woods. It is absolutely goregous up there. John's family has talked about this place for so long, I was so excited to experience it myself. John's cousin, Kyle, and his girlfriend, Sarah, also came up to hang out with us. We spent the night chatting away and before we knew it, it was after midnight and we were exhausted.
The next day we woke up and ate a good 'ol fashion, Southern breakfast. Stewed tomatoes and biscuits with bacon. I wasn't quite sure about it at first, but it turned out to be pretty good. :) After breakfast, Kyle, Sarah, John and I went on a little hike in the backyard down to the creek.
Kyle and Sarah had to leave after the hike (they weren't on vacation, like John and I). We said goodbye to them, but we weren't quite done learning about Danny and Angie's property. They showed us their garden, their trees and plants, the coy pond and told us all about the plans they have for a new deck and a new workshop. It was so peaceful and relaxing as we walked around enjoying their property.
Danny and Angie also took us to the cabin that Danny was hired to restore. They ended up tearing it down completely and building it from scratch. Danny does most of the work himself after he gets off of work. He's been working on it for about a year and has come along way! It looks so great! We can't wait to see it when it is finished.
We left Danny and Angie that afternoon and headed north once again. Next stop, Chattanooga, TN. We had such a good time with Danny and Angie at their house. It was so fun to get to know them better and see where they live. We can't wait to go back and visit again...hopefully the hot tub will be installed by then. :)
