Stone Mountain, NC!

Sunday's beautiful weather lured us into the mountains for a day of hiking. I had always heard of Stone Mountain in North Carolina, but had never been there. I had been to the Stone Mountain in Georgia on my senior trip.....oooohhhh, SEVERAL years ago. Anyway, we took off Sunday morning for a day trip.....and only an hour away, we started our hike....and we hiked....and we hiked...and a gazillion miles later, or so it seemed, we conquered the mountain. Really, it was only five miles. A good workout too, which with me, is mandatory!




The beginning of our hike. Cammie forgot her jacket, so she wrapped up in a blanket...but shed it soon!


At the bottom of the falls.



"Rotten Bananer". It's really a leaf, but Brooke was in rare form.



She decided she wanted to be a super hero. Glad she didn't think about jumping off the rock to see if she could really fly! Silly Goose!




Holding up the rock!



Resting after 3 million stairs....and 1.5 miles to go!



We did it!



Yes, we did it. Now, can we please take a nap or go home.....either would be fine!


What a day!!
