Our Mountain Trip by the Numbers

We just spent five fun-filled days in the mountains for our annual trip and I have a ton to recap!  However, laundry and grocery lists and unpacking calls, so I’m doing one of my famous “by the numbers” posts to hold us over until I have more time to recap.

Here we go! 

3 – Shots I had to get at the acute care place the morning we left because… freaking allergies.

4 – Prescription drugs I was on the whole time to keep me comfortable 

11 – Times we crossed the Georgia / North Carolina border 

4,784 – Highest elevation reached on the trip… we went to the highest point in the whole state of Georgia!

21 – Total donuts consumed

12 – Donut holes consumed

12 – Donuts consumed that were of the apple cider variety… these are included in the tally above.  ;o)

24 – Apples picked

10 – Adult beverages consumed

3 – Bottles of wine brought home from the vineyard.

1 – Place we ate that didn’t take credit cards… that’s how you know you’re in the sticks.

8 – Ice creams consumed… I feel like we could have done better than this.  Haha.

3 – Times Olivia fell and scraped her knees.  Sigh.  #ClumsyGal

93 – Gems grubbed (44 for Jacob and 49 for Olivia)

10 – Cities/areas visited (Hayesville, NC, Hiawasee, GA, Ellijay, GA, Young Harris, GA, Blueridge, GA, Cleveland, GA, Helen, GA, Blairsville, GA, Brasstown Bald, GA, Anna Ruby Falls, GA)

17 – Times somebody yelled out “COWS!” because they saw cows

3 – Times the cooler fell over in the back of the car

0 – Times the GPS fell off of the windshield… see last year’s post to see just why this was such a big deal.  Hehe.

730 – Pictures taken on the trip

90 – Stories uploaded to Instagram… and they’re all saved in the “Mountain Trip” highlight in my bio if you want to catch up!

0 – Times we were asked if Jacob and Olivia are twins.  If you’ve been following along here for a while you know this is a big deal!  We rarely go a day without getting asked this question, let alone an entire vacation.

Countless – Times my ears popped from all of the crap in my head.  #Ugh

0 – Leaves that had changed from green into brilliant fall colors.  Okay, okay, maybe there were a few, but there might as well have been none. 

This weather is for the birds, y’all, but we still had fun!

I’ll be recapping our trip soon, so stay tuned!

Don't forget to link up with HeatherJohannah, and myself... just grab our new fall graphic (seriously how cute is it?!) and link up below!

  12. I laughed at the GPS falling off the window and the twins things because I remember those from last year. So glad your GPS survived this year withou any falls. I can't wait for your recaps. Sounds like you had a great time other than the allergies.
