Part 3 of 4 cont......

These were the BEST shoes! They go up and down the rough trails and can go in the water too!

Here we go up the mountain......there are alot of photos in between but you get the idea...it is alot of stairs.

We did it!

The waterfall was awesome! COLD TOO!

This picture says it all, we had a great time in Chimney Rock, North Carolina!!!!

P.S........

This is what happens when you fall down a Rock Staircase! Yuck! It did get bigger and blacker...

This is Chimney Rock, North Carolina......One of the most Beautiful Places I have ever seen!

We had a trip planned to Chimney Rock, North Carolina. We had plans to go Gem Mining and just relaxing. We knew that the next few weeks are going to be crazy for us so this was the perfect retreat right in the middle of the Chaos!

These are all of the wonderful gems that the kids sifted out of their buckets. They were in Heaven!

The most fun we had was at the River that backed up to our campsite! Grandma couldn't wait to get in the water with the kids, so in they went. We also rented tubes and everyday we would ride the river, very relaxing!

Part 1 of 4

Finally!!! I got to have my sister come and visit me! We had a great two days of fun. We went to the beach and as usual the OHIO people stick out like sore thumbs in the Virginia Sun!

We also took a trip to the OBX and went to the Digger Dungeon and Jockey Ridge. It was a good time except for the sun burns that they were all suffering from.

And of course we had to give my PREPPY nephew a MOHAWK as soon as he arrived. Uncle Chris was very proud of JR. However, just as we got adjusted to seeing him with it, he asked to shave it off. He has an image to uphold in Ohio!
