I chose a color called 'Old Violet' and I like how it turned out, not too purple but not just a grey-blue. The pictures kinda make it look a little brighter than it actually is.

so excited to start working on it and it was sooooo ugly before I didn't

From which you can see to NC, TN, SC and GA! We had a wonderful sunny clear day and enjoyed the fabulous view before continuing on to Gatlinburg, TN. </p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9iwQ7crGI/AAAAAAAAA30/f9EeU7C50pk/s1600-h/IMG_2392-769040.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399643059558067298" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9iwQ7crGI/AAAAAAAAA30/f9EeU7C50pk/s320/IMG_2392-769040.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo">The leaves in TN were much more spectacular than NC. While in Gatlinburg we took the aerial tram to the ski resort where we rode the Scenic Chairlift to get a good view of the fall leave colors and also rode the Alpine Slide. Unfortunately, Joe and I went behind a slow lady and her slower son and half of our alpine slide ride was braking so we didn't run into the pokey people ahead of us. But the leaves were very colorful! </p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9iwv2ByhI/AAAAAAAAA38/hxcct432hQc/s1600-h/IMG_2414-770198.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399643067856833042" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9iwv2ByhI/AAAAAAAAA38/hxcct432hQc/s320/IMG_2414-770198.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07633614865896060112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573851377205337127.post-13677480864280484822009-11-02T17:27:00.002-05:002009-11-03T02:45:31.080-05:00Bridal Veil and Dry Falls<p class="mobile-photo">On our first day out in western NC it was rainy and overcast. We decided to drive to see a few waterfalls. Three of them were viewable only as you drove by and we didn't get any pictures...</p><p class="mobile-photo">Bridal veil falls is a waterfall that you can drive your car under and stand under for some photo oportunities.</p><p class="mobile-photo"> </p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9c2Oi1GmI/AAAAAAAAA3U/sv2VRQiUsQY/s1600-h/IMG_2015-755485.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399636564927388258" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9c2Oi1GmI/AAAAAAAAA3U/sv2VRQiUsQY/s320/IMG_2015-755485.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9c2RE6qwI/AAAAAAAAA3c/LLk_-wwgzZE/s1600-h/IMG_2018-757178.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399636565607230210" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9c2RE6qwI/AAAAAAAAA3c/LLk_-wwgzZE/s320/IMG_2018-757178.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo">Ironically, Dry Falls was a very wet hike for us.

Don't trust a GPS to get you around in Western NC, unless you drive a 4WD vehicle. We had driven about 8 miles down a 'road' that wasn't paved and snaked up one side of a mountain and down the other only to find a washed out portion only minutes from our destination. Joe waded into the stream to check the depth (MUCH too deep for a sedan), and we ended up turning around and driving another hour to get back to the cabin! The GPS failed us twice on our trip, the second time taking us to an underpass and telling us to turn left onto the highway above...</p><p class="mobile-photo"> </p>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07633614865896060112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573851377205337127.post-47886425484870722282009-11-02T17:22:00.000-05:002009-11-02T17:23:02.575-05:00The North Carolina State Fair<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9bxy0EsPI/AAAAAAAAA28/yOLoDxKgQQQ/s1600-h/IMG_1961-782576.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9bxy0EsPI/AAAAAAAAA28/yOLoDxKgQQQ/s320/IMG_1961-782576.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399635389252415730" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9bydPBa7I/AAAAAAAAA3E/OpNO11mdNt4/s1600-h/IMG_1966-784553.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9bydPBa7I/AAAAAAAAA3E/OpNO11mdNt4/s320/IMG_1966-784553.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399635400639736754" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9byn7ZivI/AAAAAAAAA3M/2_E7qEwWGVQ/s1600-h/IMG_1995-786038.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/Su9byn7ZivI/AAAAAAAAA3M/2_E7qEwWGVQ/s320/IMG_1995-786038.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399635403510221554" /></a></p>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07633614865896060112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573851377205337127.post-8592779193736874812009-09-17T19:16:00.003-04:002009-09-17T19:24:56.053-04:00Picture day!Today was family picture day...and I think the results were pretty good.

Not to mention a really fun theme...which is going to be a surprise. Joseph doesn't know that his playroom is being transformed, so don't tell him! Can't wait to un-veil the final project and watch Joseph react.<br /><br />Today we made a day out of the Life and Science Museum in beautiful Durham, NC.

We had fun playing in the surf too! Joseph kept saying "Here comes the water" for each wave coming towards us, and "weeeee" when it hit us. We can't wait to go to the beach again!!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYSr5kS86I/AAAAAAAAAz8/pdhtXICmbrk/s1600-h/IMG_0384.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYSr5kS86I/AAAAAAAAAz8/pdhtXICmbrk/s320/IMG_0384.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351985752573146018" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYSsGzhogI/AAAAAAAAA0E/7nkpD-r-G0Q/s1600-h/IMG_0385.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYSsGzhogI/AAAAAAAAA0E/7nkpD-r-G0Q/s320/IMG_0385.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351985756126683650" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Dinner on the road for Joseph:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYStDZDWmI/AAAAAAAAA0c/FDnihTnBzdU/s1600-h/IMG_0393.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYStDZDWmI/AAAAAAAAA0c/FDnihTnBzdU/s320/IMG_0393.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351985772390210146" border="0" /></a>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07633614865896060112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573851377205337127.post-894629498500513422009-06-27T08:16:00.002-04:002009-06-27T08:26:11.950-04:00Sprinkler Fun!The sod needed some water, it's been hot and dry here, so out came the sprinkler and Joseph. At first he didn't really want to go near it, but he warmed up to it quite quickly and was running around in no time. He really tried to catch the water in his mouth/hands, it was quite cute.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPgJNCJbI/AAAAAAAAAz0/ngFPYVHtuXQ/s1600-h/IMG_0361.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPgJNCJbI/AAAAAAAAAz0/ngFPYVHtuXQ/s200/IMG_0361.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351982252077229490" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPe4Ovg-I/AAAAAAAAAzc/TLiWLsgMivo/s1600-h/IMG_0347.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPe4Ovg-I/AAAAAAAAAzc/TLiWLsgMivo/s200/IMG_0347.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351982230341125090" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPfbpv-PI/AAAAAAAAAzk/m9OqAnwoFpk/s1600-h/IMG_0369.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPfbpv-PI/AAAAAAAAAzk/m9OqAnwoFpk/s200/IMG_0369.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351982239849642226" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPfnM3o1I/AAAAAAAAAzs/QaJig9fdyDU/s1600-h/IMG_0366.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VjERrnZCOz4/SkYPfnM3o1I/AAAAAAAAAzs/QaJig9fdyDU/s200/IMG_0366.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351982242949735250" border="0" /></a>Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07633614865896060112noreply@blogger.com0
