Is there a way to pull Categories from code behind?

I have a category called Regions, (under Content > Categories) that has several subcategories. I want to get all the children of the parent category (Regions).

I thought I could just pull the Region category, and then loops through it's children but it is returning null.

var taxonomy = manager.GetTaxonomies<HierarchicalTaxonomy>().Where(t => t.Name == "regions").Single();

Ok nevermind I figured it out:

To get Taxa by it's Parent Name:

TaxonomyManager manager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

var taxa = manager.GetTaxa<HierarchicalTaxon>().Where(t => t.Parent.Name == "regions");

foreach (var item in taxa)

//Do Stuff
