Last weekend, Michael and I got up early Saturday morning and went on a little vacation to the NC mountains. We've been trying to go to the mountains the entire two years we've been together and something always gets in the way. We finally made it this time! We went to Boone, Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis, Foscoe, Newland,Banner Elk, and back to Valle Crucis again! There was still snow on the ground but the roads were perfectly fine. Since Mast General Store was having its big winter sale, I got a cute pair of snow boots (can't find them ANYWHERE here) and a cute white winter vest. Michael looked at lots of things but bought nothing...so picky.
We ate ourselves silly on this trip, too- we had lunch at the Dan'l Boone Inn and dinner at Makoto's in Boone...I don't know where we managed to put all that food, but it was worth the misery.
Ever since I graduated and left the mountains, I've wanted to move back. Someday, we might just do that. We wouldn't dare do it now- why move away from family when you're going to have children?
Here are some pretty sights we saw while in the mountains:
A one-room school house in Valle Crucis, a beautiful bridge on the Parkway, and look whose bus parked right beside us in Boone? The Siler City Pentacostal Church's bus, that's who!
Hope everyone had a good weekend! We're off to church now.
