V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N from 8-11 to 8-13-2010

So hubby and I own I timeshare with Silver Leaf Resorts and they have several resort locations all over the country. We've owned our timeshare about 10 years now give or take. We upgraded to a better program a couple years after initial purchase and now they want us to buy into another resort closer to where we live. So they invited us up for a weekend where we could listen to them try and sell the goods. We figured why not. We can afford the time away from home and we are only giving them an hour and a half of our time. The location we visited was Apple Mountain Resort in Clarkesville GA which is closer to NC and SC then to where we currently live. Our package allowed us a 1600 sq ft living space with two bedrooms one of which was a compact guest suite for additional guests/family you might bring with you. It was completely self contained with separate entrance its own kitchen and bathroom and full size fridge, and small breakfast table and TV. The rest of the suite was a living room, diningroom kitchenette with full size fridge, a fire place and I guess what you would consider the master suite has a Jack and Jill bathroom double vanity, jetted garden tub with separate shower, and a toilet closet, both bedrooms contained king size beds. Master suite had two closets and the guest suite had one closet. Man it was great, they have horse back riding, pool tables, ping pong, tennis, horse shoes, shuffle board, full regular golf course, mini golf course, disc golf course, a family swimming pool, an activities center with a theater, arcade games, snack bar, tanning bed, work out center, a reading corner a little kids corner. The rough part was no internet access in the rooms yet but I think they will be working on that. The scenery in NE Georgia is beautiful and the soil so different from down here. Even the water from the tap up there tastes so much better then down here. Down here we have heavy calcium in the water so taste wise its nasty and it kills all your water run appliences, if you use a softener it makes the water really salty. Up there the water has more iron in it and boy was it delicious. I'm so ready to go back there. We also made a stop at Babyland General Hospital aka The Cabbage Patch Kid Factory. It's a totally cute set up. They have the staff there dressed as nurses. If you have my facebook it has the latest pictures. Enjoy!!!
