Winter break in a nutshell

Went on fun, relaxing vacation between Christmas and New Year's. Drove to North Georgia. Got truck stuck in mud. Met nice neighbors who helped get truck out of mud. Visited wineries. Ate delicious pork chops at two restaurants. Devoured best-ever sweet potato souffle. Consumed yummy scallops with perfectly cooked risotto. Learned to love collards. Spent too much at outlet mall. Convinced sister to spend too much at outlet mall. Walked down hundreds of steps (seriously) to see waterfall. Hiked several trails. Got cold. Warmed up with Georgia produced wines. Chowed down on more-than-I-should-eat fried chicken at family-style Southern diner. Played match game countless times on I-Touch. Listened to nature sounds while sitting on rented cabin decks. Listened to traffic sounds while sitting on Atlanta patio. Played with sparklers on New Year's Eve. Traded high heals for hiking shoes. Had too many Cuban style wings at Atlanta restaurant. Splurged on dessert and dessert wine at Italian restaurant. Passed on granola at breakfast. Dunked buttered toast in egg yolks instead. Chatted with friends over coffee. Chatted with strangers over coffee. Stopped wearing skinny jeans. Started wearing pajama pants until noon. Made new friends. Had fun with old friends. Watched too many bowl games. Didn't obsess over work. Did obsess over food. Had great time.

This is a great run done of what sounded like a wonderful vacation! The GA wine tour was such a good idea. BTW when are we going camping? I'll buy the hot chocolate and s'mores.
