4th of July in the Mountains....

We went to Charlotte for the weekend and on Saturday we drove up to the mountains for the day. The weather was great and a good time was had by all. It has been a few years since we have been up to the Blowing Rock area so it was great to be back and really would love to go spend a little more time up there....SOON! :-)

I was anxious to have the opportunity to take 'the camera' on this journey! I hit a milestone while on this trip...I have taken 10,000 (over now) photos with my new (December) camera! You think I like it? I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoy taking them. :-)

Red, White and Blue...everywhere!
Cool pic...looks like a flower
Fun...
Cute... :-)
The Mast Farm in Valle Crucis, NC.
(Remember this Dana G?)
Inside the Mast Farm...such a cool place!
The back porch of the Mast Farm...the guy in the middle is dancing!
A quaint church on the side of the mountain.
One of my favorites of the day...a view from inside the church.
Probably my most favorite pic of the day! ;-)

Pops and Gramma in front of the church.
and my other favorite of the day.
Beautiful view...
Great fireworks...
A perfect ending to a perfect day!
