I recently took my wife on a short Appalachian vacation and you won't believe what happened next!
OK, so maybe the header is making things sound more exciting than they really were. Or...maybe it isn't!
Either way, we had a great time on our relatively short trip! (We didn't want it to end and will probably be going back soon enough.) We stayed at a nice bed and breakfast, journeyed into the mountain forests, visited an aquarium, and saw beautiful sunsets, among other things. The weather was great, the people were friendly, and the scenery was just splendid! It was nice to get away for a few days and not spend so much time with our phones and other electronics, which we barely used while we were there.
Here is a short teaser of what I'll be sharing over the coming weeks.
Here are a couple of images from our bed & breakfast. (I took lots of photos and I'll be doing a full write-up on this place. It was excellent!)
This was the actual entrance to our room.
On our first full day, we spent the late morning and almost all afternoon at the local aquarium.
We were surprised to learn that they had just opened a lemur exhibit! These guys were pretty alert and active.
That evening, we decided to try out a little hang gliding. Alright...so we didn't actually do the hang gliding ourselves, but we did watch and take some pictures. The views were amazing!
The next morning, we walked over to the local touristy park, which was right across the street from the bed & breakfast. It's apparently one of the main attractions in the area. It had a lot of rocks and trees and stuff.
And some good views to the east.
In the afternoon, we traveled to a state park and took a walk through the woods.
Our destination for this walk was a few waterfalls. We only made it to one of them. Can you see it in the background?
We wrapped up the day with another mesmerizing sunset!
Although this was a short trip for us, it was certainly magical! We agreed to go back again, perhaps to see the leaves changing color in the fall. Be sure to keep an eye out for the many posts that I'll be sharing over the next few weeks. We had quite an adventure!
