We went to Lake Lure for a long weekend. We left on Friday & came back Tues. afternoon. It was so pretty up there & we really forgot how close it is to us. My parents joined us for the week & we all stayed at a resort called Bald Mountain Resort & Spa...we didn't get to enjoy the spa part of it... too expensive. Anyway, we played at the beach in the lake, played putt-putt, in the indoor pool and went to Chimney Rock on Sunday. I was really looking forward to Chimney Rock because I have never been there, but when it came the day to go, I got all nervous. I'm terrified of heights. Chimney Rock Park...all on top of a mountain. I sucked it up & went on. The entrance to the park was at the bottom of the mountain & we had to drive about 4 or 5 miles to actually get to where you see the rock... up a very windy, narrow road. When we got there, we walked around a bit & checked out a cave & hiked the trail to the Hickory Nut Waterfall...it was pretty & a decent hike. It was only me, Corby, the boys & my Dad. Some of the trails were closed, but they were way too high for me, plus too hard for the boys. We also road the elevator up 26 stories to the top of the rock. When we got off, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. We were SOOOO high up. We walked out of the gift shop to the walkway leading to the stairs to the rock. I chickened out & couldn't go. I sat at the bottom of the steps for a while & finally sucked it up enough to walk up the 42 stairs. Once I got up there, Corby took my picture, I took a really quick look around & I was back down the stairs in a flash. I thought I was going to throw up... but I DID IT! I even have a picture to prove it. Overall, it was really pretty, but not for me since I'm not into hiking on the edge of a mountain. The rest of the week, we just relaxed around the resort. Here's some pictures from our week. (PS... my computer crashed, so I couldn't do a cute movie w/music like I did from our last vacation.... posts will be few until I get my computer fixed)
