This past weekend my family and I drove to the mountains of North Carolina to enjoy cool weather and colorful trees. The weather was incredible, highs in the 60's and not a cloud in the brilliant, blue sky.
The view driving up to Mt. Mitchell.
On Saturday morning we hiked the last 2 miles to Mt. Mitchell's summit. While it was nice on the trail, it was quite windy and cold at the top.

Finally up at the top.
Colorful trees viewed from the top.
Dad decides he doesn't want to kiss mom anymore.
Then, after thinking about it for 1/2 a second decides that was a bad idea.

Me.
Incredible colors!
We went to historic Altapass Apple Orchard but the trees were essentially picked clean. So we came home appleless :( But we did buy some delicious fudge and listened to blue grass music.

And one last picture of me that Emily took Sunday morning just before church.
