Autumn Foliage Part 1

The view from Craggy Gardens, NC. We drove up there last Saturday to catch a glimpse of the autumn foliage before it fades at the higher elevations. If you live anywhere near the Blue Ridge Parkway, I highly suggest you take a day trip! The views are breathtaking and the mountain air feels (and smells) so good!

Testing

I'm in the process of learning how to post some bigger photos on here, so pardon me if things are a bit "messy" for a little while. Technology is really not my thing, but I am a very visual person so large photos are a must!

Charlotte, NC

Daniel and I took a day trip to Charlotte, NC. last weekend. Our main reason for going was to get desks for ourselves at the IKEA there, but we managed to make a couple of other stops as well.

My favorite place was Amelie's French Bakery. I read about it on DesignSponge's city guide for Charlotte and had to go. Their city guides are really useful, esp. if you are just stopping in a place for a little while but want to check out the local scene too.

We picked up some pastries to go and enjoyed some of the best espresso I've ever had before we hit the road for home.

See that smile?

The decor was amazing. I could literally spend hours in there.

Autumn is upon us here in the mountains. I will have some new photos to share soon. I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.
