Highlands Trip

just got back from the highlands trip...had a blast...drove up on friday afternoon....and checked into the well-appointed Lodge....the rooms had plasma screens, fireplaces, and bvlgari amenities - damn! then we went to happy hour with the rest of the firm and moved on to dinner which was a catered bbq...the veggie option was not really cool, but hema and i had feasted on the appetizers - so we were alright....

the next day we had breakfast and then went on a 4-mile hike to Rabun Bald...it was a pretty cool view of the Appalachians...i guess all the working out helped me get up top without feeling tired...hema kept up as well...we had some lunch up there...i took a couple pics too...then it was back to the hotel...but a few of us decided to do something crazy...of course - this always happens when i go on vacation haha...so we went to this place called bust your butt...we were supposed to go slide down a rock...but instead (since the water level was low) we ended up climbing up to a sort of ledge 25ft or so above the water and then jumped in (i have posted pics to help you visualize)...the water was freakin' ice...the locals assured us it was warmer than usual....the jump itself was pure adrenalin...because as you jump you actually have time to think for a couple secs before you hit the water...it was great...

we went back...showered...took a 15-min nap and got ready to go to a partner's vacation home up in the mountains...that place was outta this world...and it had all this history...made from parts of an 18th century barn...the food was excellent...we had a great time...one of the lawyers even did a rendition of 'baby got back'...hilarious...we got back and pretty much turned in after a while because no one had a word on where the after party was...

the next morning hema and i decided to check out this place called Dry Falls...it was one powerful waterfall...we took some cool pics and then headed back to atl...

anyway...starting at K&S tomorrow...so gotta go iron the suit...laterz.
