Mountains

As you may have gathered from the few pictures I posted from my phone over the last couple of days, we were in the Boone, NC region from Wednesday evening until yesterday afternoon. Even though the weather was hotter than usual in the mountains (around 85) it was still cooler than the 100 degree temps we had here in Charlotte while we were away!

We stayed in the same cabin we rented last summer, which we shared with some friends. We all had a great time - we visited Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, the Mast General Store, had dinner at the Dan'l Boone Inn, and the older kids (Ben and Jared) had a great whitewater rafting trip on the Watauga river in Tennessee while the younger ones (Evan and Becca) went out to lunch and a movie. We also started a bonfire in the outdoor fire pit and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores.

I will try to post some more pictures soon as well as a video of the frisbee dog performance we saw while we were at Tweetsie Railroad.

It was a great mini-vacation and we look forward to going back to the mountains again sometime!
