Mountain Trip

Hi. Miss me? We, (Wifegrit, Calfgrit13, Calfgrit9, and I), just got back from a few days trip to the North Carolina mountains. We had a great time. There was a lot of walking, hiking, and climbing, so we’re all completely exhausted now.

We stayed in Asheville, visited the Biltmore Estate, drove along the Blueridge Parkway, hiked through Craggy Gardens, hiked to Hickory Nut Falls, and climbed Chimney Rock and even further on up to Exclamation Point. Phew! It’s tiring. This was our boys’ first exposure to mountains, and they were surprised and impressed. It was fun to see and hear their reactions to the views and hiking challenges.

We’re home now so everyone can recuperate — although *I* have to go back to work in the morning; the boys are tracked out of school this month. I’m looking forward to writing about our adventures, but for now, I’m off to bed for a well earned night’s rest in my own bed.
