Bucket List #85: Helen, GA Oktoberfest.
Done. And done.
And it did not disappoint.
The weather was perfect and the quaint town felt miles and miles away from our busy city. It was somehow both slow and bustling with energy, begging us to live in the moment.
We meandered and enjoyed the festive everything, laughing at the lederhosen and business of it all - it almost felt like Disney world.
We danced and drank beer and ate the saltiest pretzels I ever did taste. We sat by the river and enjoyed the perfect fall weather.
We made friends with a lady named Amy who just moved here from Minnesota. She sounded like she was fresh out of Bobby's World, donchtaknow. She told us about her boyfriend who moved south for her after five years of dating. They couldn't resist the money, she said!
And so we learned, we're all friends in Helen, just looking to get down with a little fall happiness.
At the end of the day, we came home happy. Happy to return to our normal city and happy to know this magical world is only an hour away.
Thank you, miss Helen, for a lovely day.
PS: Atlantans, want details on trip logistics? Email me. Happy to help fellow Okteroberfesters!
I love that you say it reminded you of disney world. We say the same thing.. except a cross between Disney and Panama City. Glad you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteHaha I think you're totally on key with that description!
DeleteLooks and sounds like an amazing weekend! We had an Oktoberfest here recently and it was awesome - mostly because of the funnel cakes LOL
ReplyDeletehaha i didn't try funnel cakes but i'm now questioning that decision! :)
DeleteToo funny! My boyfriend's family has a house in Helen, and it's just the quirkiest little town! I've always said it's Gatlinburg-gone-German
ReplyDeleteHaha it IS like gatlinburg! I didn't think of that!
DeleteI've been there when I used to live in Atlanta. (but not during Oktoberfest!). Such a cute little town tucked away in the mountains of Georgia.
ReplyDeleteI so agree! It feels sooo far from the city!
DeleteWhit, how do you know Curt? He lived in the Grove when I was there! Crazy! Looks like such a fun weekend :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I met him through Peachtree :)
