God blessed us along the way with many great memories. Since I use my blog somewhat as a journal too - I wanted to be sure I highlighted what we did each day.
Monday - Breakfast at Sunset Cafe' and a walk around downtown Franklin, NC; then 8 hrs of family fun at the FUN Factory.
Tuesday - Bryson City, NC: lunch at Everett Street Diner then an adventure in the Smoky Mountains (saw a bear near Juney Whank Falls and then went tubing down Deep Creek). On the way back we drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Absolutely beautiful!!
Wednesday - lunch at Fat Buddies BBQ; An afternoon in Highlands, NC enjoyed several beautiful waterfalls (especially Dry Falls!); An evening filled with stone collecting (made a memorial of God's goodness with the stones) and then a campfire with roasted marshmallows.
Thursday- Winston-Salem, NC: spent time with Jim and Sandra Pollard (PMBA director and his wife), drove around the city and then enjoyed dinner at Fuddrucker's.
Friday - Winston-Salem, NC: Treated to an awesome lunch by our friends at Confluence Coffee; enjoyed hanging out with the Yokeley and Wagoner families (fellow church planters in WS). Went to a cookout hosted by some of Joe and Heather's family. It was so good!
Saturday- enjoyed coffee from BrewNerds and Krispy Kreme doughnuts before heading back to Jacksonville; stopped for a tasty lunch at an all you can eat place called Little Pigs BBQ.
We are thankful for a wonderful vacation in a beautiful state! Looking forward to living there in the future. =)
