Memorial Day weekend with the Hansen family was awesome. We hung out, had Sy & Kate's birthday party, attended Kate's baptism, went to a Braves game, and had fun swimming. The Hansen & Anderson grandparents were both there and we all enjoyed the mini-family reunion.
On Tuesday, it was time to continue our trek to New York.... with a few highpoints along the way, of course!
Our first stop was Brasstown Bald in Georgia. Like many of the highpoints in the southeast, this one is also a state park/national forest with maintained facilities so driving close to the top is possible. After taking a short shuttle from the parking lot to the peak, we paused to take a few pictures and explore. After unsuccessfully looking for a benchmark, I finally asked a ranger for some help. It turns out the benchmark is just behind a locked door which doubles as an entryway to private quarters for some of the park staff. He was nice enough to let me have a look.
It was a beautiful day and the boys and I opted to hike down from the peak to the parking lot instead of jumping on the return shuttle. It was fun to stretch our legs and enjoy a beautiful day before jumping back in the car!
