Fall-ing

David and I “took-off” this week-end and ended up in North Carolina!  We wanted to see the fall colors before all the leaves were gone.  So…we took a little trip to the Smokey Mountains. 

So gorgeous!

We were lucky and found a suite at the Nantahala Village Lodge and Spa! 

Sooo nice!

Our room had a fireplace…a pool table upstairs…a hot tub and a fireplace on the deck!

The colors were at their peak on the Blue Ridge Parkway!

The one thing we didn’t do…that now we wish we had…was the Smokey Mountain Railroad trip.  We’re definitely going back!  And…I didn’t have time to do any shopping in Bryson City!  That’s what happens when you take off without knowing your destination!  But…that was the fun part!

Later,

Debbie

  1. Vann and I used to do that. We called it leaf gawking.

  4. Oh, Miss Debbie~ sounds like you had a wonderful trip! I haven't been to the NC side of the Smokies in several years- we usually go as far as Gatlinburg/Cosby and then head back home.
    We were going to drive up last weekend but it seemed to be so crowded in Knoxville with the game in town we just said "forget it".
    Hope you're having a great week, dearie...
