Jason’s Birthday in Helen and hanging out at Hector and Reagan’s
Don’t forget to check out our photo gallery for pictures of our day in Helen at pictures.neilnatic.com or here.
Last weekend we went up to Helen to meet up with Jason, Amber, Matt, Laura, Kevin and Ash for Jason’s birthday get together. Fortuantely we had enough gas to make it up there and back because there was only one gas station the whole way up and back with gas… and the line was outrageous. For those not in GA, you could not imagine what this “crisis” looked like. Imagine waiting up to an hour to fill up your tank of gas… and spending more than 30 cents over next most expensive state in the nation!
Anyway, so as we got to Helen we parked in our normal parking lot behind a restarant and decided to take a few pictures at the river while we waited on everyone else to come into town from the camp site. Once they got there, we headed to a restaurant to grab some food and beer. Like all of the others, they had an Oktoberfest banner on the building… the only thing I dont quite understand is why there was a Bud Light on the banner… how do you advertise for a German celebration with the most American Beer around?? ha ha
We had a great time there and then decided to walk around the town for a little bit. We then went into a German restaurant for some more traditional beers. As we were going into the restaurant, we saw a few guys drinking some beer out of glass Warsteiner boots. I was really looking forward to getting one until i saw that it was $45 with beer. WOW! I got the normal beer cup and watched the Florida Gators loose their football game with glee!
After we finished our beers, we decided to head back to the house as we had Envy in her crate and I was exausted. Happy Birthday Jason! We had a great time. Sorry we did not stay any longer 
On our way back we went over to Hector’s house to hang out for a little bit. Bobby and Jen were already over there so it was great to see everyone. Because it was a long day and we still had Envy in her crate we headed out rather soon. Plus I had to get home to watch the UGA game… lets not talk about the outcome
