Vacation 3/2023

Scott and I went away for a few days to Bryson City, NC.  We rented a VRBO log cabin.  It was a great vacation and we loved the cabin, it was so cozy!  Here are some photos of the cabin.

This is the cabin from the front.  We love log homes and we really loved this cabin.

This fireplace was amazing!  It had gas logs in the fireplace, so no work was required even though we love the smell of real logs burning.

There was a loft upstairs (which I forgot to take a photo of).  There was a full bed, dresser and nightstands up there.

The living area had a full size bed, the fireplace, 2 handmade rocking chairs and a TV.

Scott and I went to the village/town of Bryson City.  We walked around and looked at all the Cherokee Indian jewelry, handmade items, paintings, baskets, etc.  Then we made our way to the Nantahala River.  It was just beautiful!  Trout fishing had started the Saturday we were there, so there were fisherman everywhere.  The night before I took these photos it rained so hard and so long.  The River was really high.  We saw 2 rafts filled with rafters and people in kayaks going down the river.  

There is alot of natural reed (bamboo) growing along the river in spots.

Little purple violets were blooming.  I love them!

You can see some of the rapids in the river here.  It was a really swift current.

Scott bought me a necklace and earrings made by the Cherokee.  It is made from clam shell, the indians carved.  The purple is much more vivid in real life-just gorgeous!

This is the last picture of the river I took.  It was just gorgeous with all the stone.  The trees are just starting to get their leaves up there.

We had a wonderful trip!  We stopped at Cherokee Resorts and Casino on the way home.  Scott had a free night to stay in a suite there.  I didn't have any luck at the slots but Scott did, he won $4,700!  He is always lucky at the slots there.  It is good to be home, but it was wonderful to be with Scott for 5 days!

Until next time!
