On Saturday, the Cirillos came over and gave the kids (and us!) Easter treats. :-)  We drove up to Dahlonega.  First we went to the newer neighborhood called Monteluce that the Beachams from our neighborhood have built.  Last year, Mama and Deaddy took Laura and I up there to eat at the restaurant on the vineyard.

We enjoyed the scenic route up there and driving through the neighborhood.  There had just been a wedding on the pond by the vineyard.  Me-maw and Poppy may go up and look again when the model homes are opened.  We didn't make it in time to walk through them and the kids were starving so I don't think they would have been patient enough to look anyway!

We then drove to downtown Dahlonega (not too far away) and we ate at The Smith House.  I had always heard how good it was.  It was very simple decor as you can see and they serve you family style.  It was actually good food that was not too greasy or salty.  The best food was the fried chicken, creamed corn, green beans, rolls, and lemonade.  We had strawberry shortcake with ice-cream for dessert.  We could barely finish it since we ate too much!  It was a good time....
