Day 1:
Bald Rock, SC
Caesar's Head (highest point in SC)
Pretty Place
(a chapel in Camp Greenville)
Unfortunately, we ended our adventures on Day One by getting stuck at the bottom of the hill to this lovely chapel...it was covered with ice and it took two hours of maneuvering and breaking up ice on the road before we escaped!
The gate at the top of the hill to Pretty Place
(notice the large patch without ice...just enough for a safe escape!)
Lake Lure, NC
After finding that many of our intended destinations were closed because of the snow,
we decided to be inventive and go sledding on a nearby hill on plastic box tops!
Day 3:
We explored Asheville, ate at the Tupelo Honey Cafe (YUM!), and then checked out the Grove Park Inn...it was beautiful!
Day 4:
THE BILTMORE!!
It was so gorgeous, covered in snow and all decorated for Christmas :)
And the audio tour was so interesting and really helped us to appreciate
And the audio tour was so interesting and really helped us to appreciate
the amazing history of the rooms! (Great idea, Meliss!)
After the Biltmore, we headed back to Spartanburg to celebrate the New Year with my parents and grandparents...and to do a little shopping :)
Hope everyone had wonderful holidays!!!
I look forward to seeing what 2011 holds for all of us! :)
