Waterfall Hunting: B&B Falls

Dave treated me to a lovely weekend in the North Carolina mountains. We stayed at this nice bed & breakfast in the Nantahala National Forest, and for fun, we went waterfall hunting!

The first waterfall was on the B&B property. We saw the warning, but we figured it couldn't be too bad...

We lost the trail once, Dave busted his butt when he slipped on some wet leaves, and I skinned my palms making sure I didn't fall down the waterfall when we finally reached the top of it.


It was pretty, but we weren't feeling brave enough to try to uncover the even steeper trail to the bottom of the falls... maybe next trip!

Birthday B&B

For my birthday back in May, Dave promised me a weekend vacation--we just had to wait until we both had an open weekend to go out of town.

He may have procrastinated making the reservation till this past Wednesday when I asked him what I should pack, but we leave after work today for a quiet weekend at a bed & breakfast in the mountains... there are no definite plans, but hiking, waterfalls, and swimming at the B&B pool will all probably be included.

Paid!

I hold in my hands (well, when I'm not typing...) a small bank receipt for the pay-off amount on my car. Yes, despite all of the trials and tribulations earlier this year, I have now achieved my goal of paying off my car a year early.

YIPEE!!!!!
