Weekend Trip to Valle Crucis

I bugged Chris to ask his friend/mentor, Dr. Lolley, to let us stay up at his mountain house for a weekend. Dr. Lolley had already told Chris that we could go up there when we wanted to. We finally set a date and invited his sis, Jess, and her husband, Lee.

Chris didn't give me a lot of details about the cabin. I didn't expect it to be as old as it is. It dates back to the 1800's. It use to be located in Va before the previous owner moved it down to NC. It's definitely got that old smell/feel. I loved all of the little nicknack's and decor! It was very country and quaint!!! Despite a couple of scary moments we had a great weekend!

Cute toy and cute dog...

I made French Toast for breakfast on Saturday morning...

Yellow's & Green's

Chris found these pretty sweet trees!

This General Store has been around the corner and back...it's got some history! There are actually two stores. The image on the top left is the original store and the one on the top right is the newer of the two. They are both really fun stores. I'd say if you're a candy lover go to the newer store:)

Chris doesn't like his picture being taken, but I think he looks cute:)

Chris and Jess love some Big Red!

I gave it a shot too. It was pretty good. I have this feeling it would be really good with a bag of salty potato chips!

Chris bought one of those trick kaleidoscope at the general store and Jess definitely fell for it. We could barely keep from laughing. I couldn't let Jess go on with two rings around her eyes, so I spilled the beans.

We ate dinner at the Daniel Boone Inn. It's basically all you can eat Southern style!

Jess kicked some Putt Putt butt. The course was so hilly that it was really really hard to play on!

Begging for his mommy...

We stopped and grabbed a burger (chicken sandwich for me) before we headed home.

Hopefully we will get to spend more time with Jess and Lee in the future. I wish our weekend could have lasted a few days more!
