I’m just going to apologize for making you all read about the spiders. If it makes you feel any better, Karma got me back. After driving with the kids all day earlier this week on the way to a wedding in North Carolina, we tried to find a hotel for the night. Apparently the entire population of Georgia is attending agriculture conferences at every hotel along 75, so after ten attempts to settle in for the night, Brett finally got online from home to see if he could score us something (he has to work and sadly couldn’t come with). He did–a cabin by a lake, forty minutes north of where we were driving. “Looks exactly like something you’d love,” he said.
It was darling. Quaint as ever. Fireplace, knotty pine, old furnishings. We arrived late at night, and I got the kids in the tub, anxious for our lakeside cabin adventure. An adventure that ended ten minutes later when I saw two huge cockroaches crawling on the bedroom walls–and heard them crawling.
Aw, hell nah.
We were out of there. And I’ll admit, I immediately thought of the awful spider story and the way I made you all share it with me.
So, enough of that. A quick little stop-in from North Carolina before wedding festivities begin tonight. We are in heaven, enjoying the best of the best of God’s creation–a landscape that has taken my breath away numerous times this week.
More to come. Happy Weekend!
These photos just sum up Autumn perfectly. Beautiful! And the one with Dash in the rocking chair is lovely.
Glad you and the kids are enjoying NC. I moved here from Greece almost 9 years ago and have never regretted my decision..it is a beautiful state! Hope your weekend goes well and you enjoy the wedding and this wonderful Autumn weather.
Ahhhh bug karma lol! Gorgeous photos as always! Enjoy your trip 🙂
Beautiful pictures of autumn and beautiful kids! xx
Oh! It’s so gorgeous! So glad you were able to go enjoy a real fall for awhile.
Welcome to North Carolina!!!!! It will fill up your soul! Promise! I now live in your dear ole state of Michigan, (which is quite gorgeous right now), but I miss those NC mountains! Enjoy!
I live in the mountains of NC. 🙂 It’s a beautiful place.
There is no place on earth quite like the mountains of western NC. Enjoy your time out there. It’s gorgeous!
I saw a cock roach in a hotel I was staying once. I nearly died. Have so much fun in our mountains!!!
Glad you are discovering the beauty of NC! I was born and raised there and believe it to be the most wonderful place ever. But I am now in Minnesota going to school and keep trying to tell people here of the beauty of NC. 😉
Your pictures are always so beautiful, these are amazing. Awful about the roaches, yuck! Happy weekend!
What beautiful scenery! And I need to thank you for not photographing the cockroaches. 😉
Beautiful pictures and gorgeous views. It’s just beautiful in Ohio rght now. The kids are always adorable. I hate those bugs.
So glad you’re enjoying my state of NC! Beautiful photos!

So Beautiful!..the scenery AND your children! Where is that gorgeous waterfall??
Welcome to NC!!! I’ve lived here all my life and have loved every minute of it…all 47 years worth! Mountains and beach all within a half days drive…can’t ask for much more. Not sure where you are but if you get a chance to go to Blowing Rock, I think you will love it! Great town with so much charm. Have a great, safe trip…y’all come back now ya hear!!
We did the ol’ “Let’s drive until we are tired and then get a hotel” after a wedding in West Virginia on Columbus Day weekend. This was before the internet but we had our handy AAA books. After striking out a few times, we called ahead (from the pay phone) and finally got someone who said “We have half a suite” (which means a fold out sofa). We took it!
And I’m totally going to ask…I Love Nella’s sweatshirt and Dash’s sweater. Where did you find them???
Please oh please… what’s the source on Dash’s Hudson Bay sweater?!
