We've lived here for almost 5 years now and have never gone to visit Brian's Uncle and Aunt in Black Mountain. A few years back they built their dream home on top of a mountain. We soon realized that there would always be kids/adults activities that we would just need to bow out of and make a visit. Boy have we been missing out. They weren't joking - they do live literally on top of a mountain. Here we are driving up their 1/2 mile lane...
We made it and it was breathtaking!!
When Aunt Karen wants to take a gorgeous nature hike, all she has to do is walk outside. Here Brian and Aunt Karen are walking down her lane.
If you go down it you must go back up....
And up some more. They actually have a shop, at the bottom, where they park their vehicles when there is snow and ice and they can't drive up their lane. I guess last winter was pretty bad and it got old walking up snow/ice even with groceries...
We spent most of our time at Aunt Karen's and had a great time seeing Brian's cousin Debbie and her kids. The next day we checked out all the unique shops in Black Mountain. The kids loved the stores as much as we did.
We just went shop to shop and each time you walked outside you were greeted by gorgeous mountains.
So wonderful to see Aunt Karen, Uncle Vince and other family members! Now we know better than to wait 5 more years! Lindsey was already discussing Thanksgiving with her Aunt Karen. :)
