On Sunday morning, we stuffed down some room service breakfast (this travelogue seems to be revolving around food) and then drove out to the Blue Ridge Parkway for a leisurely drive. We stopped at the information center to check on road closures because we are responsible tourists. Sure enough, part of the Parkway that we wanted to drive on was closed so we got to go on a super twisty, switchback filled detour. (highway 80, if you're interested, Jon). We stopped to hike up to Linville Falls and it was SO pretty.

View of the falls from WAY up high!
We hiked up to the highest point that we could.
David made me get off this wall after he took this picture.
It was pretty much a sheer drop on the other side.
Eek!
Being a parent is lots of fun, but there is nothing like getting away
with David. We had a great weekend!
I have to say that I love my kids, but I sure would LOVE a weekend with just my hubby! Good for you guys for getting away!
