Appalachian Mountains
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
We took a day and the Blue Ridge Parkway to the small town of Blowing Rock, NC.
Just outside the town are some amazing hikes with gorgeous waterfalls.
The drive up the Blue Ridge was beautiful.
The trees are amazing, and the view was spectacular.
We went on a foggy, stormy day so some sights were limited.
For instance:
Lincoln loves hiking. Winston hates not taking a nap.
So once again, we were facing the day with a grumpy toddler.
I just love being with my parents.
After the hiking to the waterfalls we went to see THE Blowing Rock.
My parents were laughing as we drove to it.
This little site is privately owned. They charge you a whole $7.00 to go look at a rock.
But wait - they have 'gardens' too.
haha - you mean a couple flower beds?!
We had a good laugh.
Either those it was kinda silly, the view so amazing and the legend...well, you can decide...
"A despondent Indian brave -- torn by his crush on an Indian maiden and his manly responsibilities -- threw himself to certain death off of this rocky precipice. The maiden prayed from the outcropping until the brave was blown back into her arms!"
I will say, it was quite fascinating throwing leaves off the rock and seeing them fly up over our heads.
Love this man of mine!
