So, in an effort to show these California girls that North Carolina is about more than just watching babies and changing diapers, we took a quick day trip to Linville Falls today. The day was overcast and cooler- perfect for a hike and a visit to the caverns. The kids were mostly good; a little antsy about the 2 1/2 hr car ride, but happy to be out in the fresh air, to picnic by the water, to explore the awesome caves, and to eat at a roadside hole-in-the-wall BBQ place (yes, I ate a pulled pork sandwich! Some things are harder to resist than others...)
And we are back, ready to start the week...refreshed and mostly happy to be out of the minivan :)

Fun! I bet those falls are even prettier without the freezing temps! Was is the same BBQ place? With the smoking gun out front?
Bryan wanted to go back to Smokey-Que's so BADLY! We found it again, but it was closed...I think just because it was 6pm on a Sunday, but maybe for good?
Cool!! I love that area - so pretty.
How was the BBQ? I always say - if it wasn't for bbq and bacon, i could be a vegetarian.
PS My WV is "raingome" heehee
