Greg got New Year's Eve off, and so we headed 2 hours south to the Little Grand Canyon in Lumpkin, GA. This is one of the 7 Wonders of GA, and Greg took me here 5 years ago when he was wooing me. The weather was amazing - 70+ degrees and we were sweating in short-sleeved shirts.
It is a beautiful canyon, but it is not that old. It is a canyon created from erosion from poor farming in the 1800s. One day a farmer noticed his land was start to erode away, and within a few years it was this. For real.
We hiked around in the bottom of the canyon rather than hiking around the rim.
See - it's all just sand. Erosion.
We're still just as happy 5 years later!
New Year's Eve
Greg started a new tradition this year. Instead of using party favors to bring in the New Year, we used oboe reeds. They are the reeds Greg made with a Dremel tool, and sound even worse than party favors!
We celebrated with Darah and David.
And here Dave and Greg are trying to get my Christmas gift of marshmallow shooters to work. They never got them working. It might have been a bummer night if the "A-Team" hadn't saved us. Great movie!

How fun! I still can't believe Jason has never taken me there. Your house looks sooo good! I love the before and after pictures.
Cool canyon. The reed thing is awesome!
that's hilarious about the reeds - maybe he should market those?!?! ;-)
I still can't believe you hang out with David Wheeler??? It's still crazy to me that you know all the people I grew up with and more. . . David and Greg look like twins with their bald heads, um, I mean haircuts!! That's a bummer about the marshmallow shooters. It looked like a beautiful day for the canyon.
Of course you are happy 5 years later.... you have matching sunglasses. That is the secret to good marriages. No doy. We're doomed. My Greg doesn't even like to wear sunglasses.
Cute Christmas posts. Glad you guys had a fun getaway over the holidays. That sounds like a lot of fun.
