So last week I completely forgot to post a snapshot. Today I am heading to the mountains of North Carolina for vacation. Unfortunately, due to schedule conflicts with his job, my hubby is not able to go, so Laura and I will be heading out on our own to the family vacation house with my parents. I have really been looking forward to this week away, though I hate that we have to leave the hubster behind. (We are hoping to take a trip back to NC together in the Fall.) I'm in the process of scheduling a few posts (including this one) and tweets so that I don't completely fall off the map for a week. ;-)
This is what I will be enjoying for the next several days:
Though the trees have grown up so much you don't really have this much visibility, this used to be part of the view from the deck of our family's house. Now you pretty much have to be on the roof of the house or brave the steep bank up behind the house to see anything like this.
This view is at Roan Mountain National park. It has been several years (I'm thinking nine?) since we last went here, but we are planning a return visit complete with picnic lunch. Should be interesting carrying along Laura this time!
This is along the path to that view above. I've always really liked this picture!
Hope you all have a great week... I hope to have lots of fun pictures to share on future Saturday Snapshot posts!!

I love your pic of the path through the forest - so idyllic with the dappled light and winding path.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great place to spend time --so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteMelissa, Have a great, relaxing trip. I love the North Carolina mountains. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. There is nothing like a mountain vacation! Enjoy
ReplyDeleteThat path through the forest is my favorite...I can imagine it leading to beautiful or scary places...but it definitely could illustrate a story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
The path looks so inviting - have a wonderful trip!
ReplyDeleteNothing like nature photos! Love mountain shots!

Here is my Snapshot.
By the looks of it you are going to have a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteThose views look so serene and relaxing! I hope you have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteLove your views. It will be good to go there and relax. I remember sitting on a mountain near Colorado Springs one year and thinking of how high I was compared to where we lived back home. I also felt the peace there. Enjoy your time there.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, it looks a great spot.
ReplyDeleteThe view is amazing and I love the last picture big time!!!
