then (April 18, 1997) & now (October 4, 2008)-
For our 10 year anniversary, we spent a glorious weekend in the mountains (read no kids and absolutely beautiful weather). Back then we always stayed at the Brockwell's mountain house in Sky Valley and this time we stayed at a Dillard House Chalet. http://www.dillardhouse.com/
So much was the same yet different...

We drove down to the water fall at Sky Valley and took a few pictures. Then we hiked to the top of Rabun Bald (the 2nd highest point in GA) - and the site of our engagement way back when. The view was spectacular and well worth the hike and it was great to remember the last time we had been there. After our hike, we ate lunch and shopped around in Highlands. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing with a couple of cold drinks, a good book (Amy) and some college football on TV (Jeff). For dinner we enjoyed a family style dinner at the Dillard House. We should have taken a picture of all the food on our table - so many bowls that they barely fit! And no trip to Sky Valley would be complete without a round of golf. All I can say about the golf is that the weather was nice (cool for early October), the company splendid and my game got (a little) better as the round went on.

Maybe next time, we'll take the kids...
