For as long as I can remember, my family has always taken a trip in the fall “to see the leaves.” That’s because when you grow up in South Georgia (below Atlanta), sometimes the leaves do not change color until much later in the season. So, usually in October, my mom would take us to Gatlinburg, Tenn. or the North Georgia area, visiting little mountain towns like Helen and Dahlonega. I have so many fond memories of eating at the inviting pancake houses, riding the yellow sky lift, shopping in the antique malls and stopping at the lookout points to take pictures of the rainbow of color on the mountaintops. I’ve lived in Savannah for more than a decade, and on the coast, we definitely have to get out-of-town to experience the seasons!
