Bob and I had a free day last weekend so we decided to visit Helen for the day, which is a little German mountain town about an hour and a half away. All of the buildings are modeled in this way and it is fun to see some very normal places (think Motel 6) outfitted in this style. Of course we sampled every candy store there was, getting our fill on fudge and brittle. We went into a cute little toy shop where everything was made of wood and I just wished I had a little boy to buy something for...
Anyway, here is the awkward picture we took of ourselves in front of the restaurant we ate at. As I go through more and more of our pictures, so many of them look like this because we have to take it of ourselves. Of course, there is always the option of asking someone else to do it, but after our NY experience (someone actually saying No, they were not willing to take a picture of us) we have felt a little insecure. Or, when we do have others take it they turn out just as awkward if not more. The other picture of us in this town (not shown here) was taken by someone else and has awful shadows. So you just get to enjoy (laugh at) this one.
We loved our drive home through some different quaint mountain towns. Although it always scares me when we do this because Bob starts talking about moving out there. Seriously. One day he came home from fishing and told me that he had seen a new cabin for sale for $20,000 and the thought honestly crossed his mind that we could buy it, move there, and virtually retire now--maybe getting part time jobs at nearby shops. I encouraged him that while it was a good thought, he would be doing it alone, and it might not be that fun by himself (although I still think he is considering--hehe).
Anyway, there is so much to discover here in our "backyard" and we had a fun day exploring some of it!

Josh and I have a lot of "arm" shots too. I've actually gotten quite good at centering us in the photo.
