And this time, my scheme not only involved us, but I decided last minute (as in 48 hours notice) to see if we could stay with our cousins, Destinee and Ryan, in Asheville. And they said yes, too! Hooray for spontaneity!
We made the quick trip up the road on Friday night. The kids were so happy to see each other and get along so well. We let them stay up way too late. But how often do they get to play with cousins? Then the adults stayed up even later playing Ticket to Ride. Destinee kicked our booties.
The next day the kids whined to leave their cousins behind as we took off for the waterfalls.
The visit was too short!
Hooker Falls, as seen from the top...
and from the bottom.
Triple Falls,
where part of the Hunger Games movie was filmed!
We took our obligatory pics of kids jumping off things,
and doing cute supermodel poses.
They've got their smiles down.
And the final waterfall is High Falls.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Such a fun family getaway.
The kids were great on the hike.
So happy my family will go along with my hare-brained schemes.
oh, the falls are beautiful! : )
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas and your spontaneity. How fun!
ReplyDeleteWanting to take pictures of waterfalls? Riiiiight. I know what you were thinking. Time for you and Andrew to run out into the woods and pretend to be Katniss and Peeta where they filmed the hunger games. :).
ReplyDeleteAwesome, we love falls too! & summer spontaneity!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect spontaneous getaway!
