Mountain Adventures

Some of the best adventures are those done spontaneously. We decided on a whim that we would take a day trip to the mountains.

First we decided to stop into Boone and say hello to Yosef (the ASU Mountaineer). I think I have Blake convinced to go to ASU like his momma! He loves walking around and learning about my life while I loved in Boone. He also has this whole plan where he and his best friend Hunter will go to ASU and have a blast together. That makes this momma happy! :)


We then went to Banner Elk to try this Wilderness Alpine Run coaster! Joyner heard about it on the local news and we decided to try it out. It's a family run business where they build this bobsled like coaster that runs down the mountain! It was SO much fun! Blake and I rode in a sled together and he was constantly wanting to go fast, fast, fast!! Joyner was in his coaster behind us trying to beat us. We loved the action! 



Then we decided to go explore some waterfalls at Linville Falls. We got to hike a little and see some amazing views! Blake clearly has no fear and he almost gave me a heart attack by always getting close to the edge. Whew - he is a daredevil. The falls were beautiful and we got to see lots of different views of them. 







Finally, we drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway and saw the most amazing views on the overlooks! We felt on top of the world. It was amazing. 





We had no regrets with this trip...in fact we hope to do it again in a few months!
