For our 7th anniversary, we spent the weekend tucked away in Helen, GA, in a cozy cabin nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Chattahoochee River. We visited the alpine village of Helen, Anna-Ruby Falls, Helton Creek Falls, and Raven Cliffs Falls. We even went tubing down the Chattahoochee river! Read more about the trip on our blog.
