After arriving in beautiful Hartsfield International Airport, Atlanta. We had a quick train trip to the Car Rental Terminal to claim our Fiat 500!
This airport has been greatly improved since my last insane visit. It is clean and well marked and EFFICIENT.

Fun Car!

We hit the road with our nativgation system for a quick 1.5 hours to the 'Wine Country of Georgia".

The closest town and highly recommended Inn was in Clayton, Georgia. It wasn't much to look at until we got a bit closer. Located in the North Georgia mountains, we tootled to the Inn.

This area was a popular and posh summer retreat for those in Altanta. While it is not the happening place to go now, there are several large lakes with home on the lake that are very old school up to the millions of dollars. There was or still is alot of money in the Georgia hills!

Beautiful Scenery

What a nice Inn!
Stayed just overnight in the Nantahala Suite. I took up the queen bed and my daughter the couch. It was a beautiful inn, full of charm. I wish I could have spent a week.

I was dissapointed to miss the acclaimed Saturday night dinner and 3000 bottle wine cellar, but I made due with a fine glass of Georgia wine and snack for the short social hour.

As we were a bit weary of our travels and eager to turn in early we needed to eat, so at the suggestion of the Innkeepers we headed to Main Street Clayton and Zepplins.

Clayton

Zepplins

Zepplins Restaurant
Clayton, GA

This was a fine family owned restaurant, apparently run by a "Roadie" of Led Zepplin. Food was good, reasonable and the walls decorated with album covers from the bands of the 60's and 70's a fun diversion.

The next day we tooled our way to Tallulah Falls School for tour and lunch. Ana finished up with an interview.

The school itself is "The Light of the Mountains" and is celebrating its 103 year. Founded by the Georgia Womens Club , great plans are underway and Foundation funding by old Altanta's Coca-Cola distributor is a major factor from growth as an Industrial School to a well respected institution. We had a great visit and Ana and I were very impressed.
