So... "we loaded up the truck and we moved to Beverly..." Literally we couldn't fit another thing in the car as we headed to the mountains. It was GLORIOUS y'all! I adore the mountains. And since I'm rather fair skinned... I'm much more of a mountain girl than a beach girl.

First stop.. Mast General Store. Where we were taken back to old timey sodas and candy. The kiddos were sold for the mountains when Joey vowed "YES! Everyone choose an iced cold beverage from the cool drink dispenser." {I'm sorta a prude and don't let them have sodas... He's clearly the superior parent in their eyes! I however take them to all of their dentist appts!}

We mined for gems. Cause we are clearly suckers. Prissy found a huge ruby! A-man got some of the prettiest quartz I've ever seen.

My man got to let his hair down and grow the full glory of God on his face! He has to shave everyday so it's nice to relax. And this picture cracks me up because in his world... nothing says relaxing like windows down, arms out, and country music on the radio.
P.S. my hair loves the mountains! 70 degrees is the best!!!!

Our cabin was amazing! We ate, hiked to the waterfall, dipped in the hot tub.

We made some wonderful memories. Ones that I will cherish for years to come. Prissy and I have decided that we could learn to love a place in Blowing Rock... or Banner Elk!
Joey's favorite part- hiking Grandfather Mountain!
Mine- the food! OH MY WORD fish and chips!!
Kiddos- candy cigarettes from Mast General....
I have no words for this pic.
I LOVE reading your blog and catching up with all that is going on in your precious life. Love and miss you my friend!
