Our Vacation: Dry Falls

One of the days on our trip to the mountains, we took a ride over to Dry Falls. I'm not so sure why it is called "dry" because you will get a little wet if you walk all the way down. This fall was really neat since you can actually walk right behind it. It was a beautiful sight! And how much did this amazing display cost? Nothing. It was free! It was one of the highlights of our trip.


Here you can see people walking down and behind the fall.

The girls posing. Mattie doesn't look thrilled in this picture, but she really liked the fall.

Our Vacation Part One

We had a really nice vacation. We went to Lake Nantahala in the North Carolina Mountains. It was about an eight hour drive for us. We literally almost drove the entire state of NC from East to West. It is absolutely beautiful there. I've always said that the best thing about NC are their mountains and beaches.


Mattie's entertainment on the way there.



This is the house that my mom rented for all of us to stay in for the week.


75 stairs up and down to the house and lake! I'm out of shape!

This was the view from our dock. It was absolutely beautiful and peaceful.

The girls jumping into the cool refreshing water! It was crystal clear.

More pictures to come later.......
