Mountain Escape

This past Monday was the only day off Mike has had in quite a while and all he wanted to do was escape to Blowing Rock for the day. Mother Nature had other plans, and the morning greeted us with muggy and misty air and 100% chance of rain and thunderstorms.

Nonetheless, Mike would not be deterred and off to Blowing Rock we went.  As it turned out, we ended up having better weather in the mountains than back home. Sure, we had rain, but really just a little drizzle and misting...back here in Charlotte there were massive thunderstorms, tornado watches and flash floods!

The fog was pretty magical and made for some cool photos:








































But Ella and Aidan made for even better photography as they stopped for a few pictures after lunch....






....and enjoyed their ice cream cones!
