Labor Day in the Mountains...

A few days before Labor Day Mark and I decided to pack us all up and head to South Carolina. We stopped on the way to see my mother in law in Georgia. Which is a must, not only because we love to see her but because Emma has to eat at Chick-fil-A. She loves the one that have in Griffin because it has a "small door" that she loves walking in and out of. We had breakfast with Mark's aunt and Shelly(his cousin Rob's wife). I love going to see them all. Shelly and I have so much fun when we are together. I just wished we could have spent a little more time there.

After we left Georgia we headed off to South Carolina to see Mimi, Poppy and Sarabeth. Emma was so glad to see her Sarabeth it was not even funny. I think if I heard "Mommy how many more miles," I was going to tape her mouth shut!! On Saturday we got up and drove the rest of the way to the cabin in Blowing Rock,NC. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We took the kids to Tweetsie Mountain. Which is a small amusement park geared towards children. They all loved it. But I think the adults loved it as much as they did.On Sunday we went to Grandfather Mountain. I have been there before but I was like 12 so it was nice to be able to take Emma. It was so amazing. We climbed up to the top and we looked out at whole town. We had to walk across a suspension bridge to get to part of the mountain, if you stopped half way across and looked down there was a plaque. It said that at that one point we were 1mile off the ground!! YIKES!! But needless to say it was breathe taking to see all of God's handy work. The best part of the whole trip was that my cell phone did not work! I had forgotten how peaceful it can be without the phone ringing every 10 seconds! It was FABULOUS!! It was a long drive there and back but it was well worth every mile that was driven! Enjoy the Pictures!!
