November was busy. BUSY! But we had much to be thankful for because every single weekend was filled with family and friends. And both sets of parents made the long car drive out to see us - Brad's parents came for a week in the beginning of the month and my parents came for the week of Thanksgiving. Hosting family is always such a great break from our regular work schedule and reminds us of what is really important!With Mike and Jolene, we spent a weekend exploring western North Carolina. We drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway (the little bit that was still open), saw lots of waterfalls around Brevard, and stopped at Chimney Rock for some gorgeous views.
Mike dabbles in photography, so he was really enjoying shooting all the
waterfalls. Brad and I had our own photoshoot to pass the time. The boys
also got up super early one morning to try and photograph the first
light on a big fall - us girls choose to stay in our warm beds however!
Chimney Rock was our last stop and the fall leaves were on full display! The waterfall there wasn't quite as impressive as all the others we saw but the hiking trails were great. Another state park checked off the list!
