Land of the Waterfalls



We are having a great time exploring western North Carolina. On our way there, we stopped in Durham for the night and visited the Duck Shop on Sunday where Gavin picked out a Duke football. We told him that the basketball was a better choice, but he insisted on a football!

Our first day in Brevard, we enjoyed the pool and the pretty views from our house. On Tuesday, we toured the Biltmore and saw 54 rooms (gorgeous!). Gavin was a really good sport. He was treated to a petting zoo at the Biltmore's farm and some ice cream. Yesterday, we hiked out to a beautiful waterfall called Bridal Veil Falls. The map told us that it was a "total of 2.1 miles," but we later learned that was one way! Thank goodness. Otherwise, we were REALLY slow!

We are enjoying a rainy day today. We visited the Pisgah Wildlife Center and Fish Hatchery where Gavin got a kick out of feeding the trout!

It's been a great week so far. We just wish the time didn't go so fast.
