Blue Ridge Parkway

The day after our trip to Murry's Mill we went up to the Blue Ridge Parkway and had a BLAST!! It was such a fun day. We drove up through Blowing Rock, where I was at training this past February, and then went to Moses Cone, Julian Price, and drove south past Grandfather Mountain.

These pics are from Moses Cone:

The pond we hiked around looking up at Cone Manor.

These pics are from Julian Price:

We rented a row boat and right as we pushed off
two deer walked out of the woods and into the water.

Eli helping Dada "paddle" the boat.

Mama and the boys. Emmett slept the
entire time we were in the boat.


Eli standing in the water, he loved it.

The rest of the pics are from a hike we took from the Rough Ridge Overlook up to the Tanawha Trail.

Our first hike as a family of four.

A fun rock outcrop that Eli thought looked like pancakes.

I think this one looked like a sink facuet.

The Linn Cove Viaduct.

Dada and Eli.

Mama and Emmett.

Emmett sacked out and a beautiful bridge on the trail.

This is a video of Eli on the hike.
