Weekend Getaway

Last weekend, Dylan and I enjoyed our first baby free trip together since Brooks was born!  Originally, I had planned on a little beach excursion but since Brooks had few bouts of the tummy virus weeks prior, we didn't have too much extra time to take off work.  Then, when Paul McCartney's Atlanta concert date got rescheduled {boo!}, we finally decided that Dahlonega would be our destination!  Super close to home but just far enough to still feel like a mini-vaca.  We'd been a few times before and it never disappointed!

My parents kept Brooks and they all had a blast together while Dylan and I enjoyed some much needed togetherness and R&R!  Super important for married couples with young kids. We work hard, after all!  Mommies,{especially this one} sometimes need to be reminded that it's absolutely a-okay to relax a little too. ; )

Here are some pics from our rendezvous in this quaint little town! It truly is a fun, romantic spot!




Here we are at Frogtown Cellars.  This one was new to us and we LOVED it!!
Such pretty views and I was totally taken with the lavish hardwood floors,
dark cherry wood tasting bar and all the beautiful stonework on the walls. 
The tasting was delicious, of course, and filled with bright and crisp whites
to the more complex, robust red variations {my fave}.

 



Back patio with beautiful views!  So peaceful!

 

 



This is the front of our hotel, the charming Dahlonega Square Hotel. We chose the
McGuire Suite because it had a private entrance and separate living room.  It was so adorable!

 

Pretty blue walls and crisp white bedding!

 

Sitting Room in our suite
 

 

Cute little adjoining bath
 

 

Rocking chairs out front!



Our first dinner out was at Corkscrew Cafe.
We sat on the outside covered patio in back and enjoyed a lovely
meal along with some live tunes from a local musician!

 

I highly recommend the filet!! Delish!!
Here is a link to their dinner menu

The chocolate creme brulee was amazing!!

The bread was served with a scrumptious pesto butter!  Mmmm!

 

The next day we did some light shopping in the square at the General Store

 

Dylan checked out some vinyls, of course!

 

5 cent "Honor System" coffee!  Only in Dahlonega! ; )

Basket heaven!!

Before we left, we had a really great breakfast at Picnic Cafe and Dessertary.
I had the Quiche Plate and wowza it was tasty!  Check out their website here

 

 

 

 

Hope you all get to visit Dahlonega soon!
