Home Sweet Home

Yes, we're home after a weekend in the woods. We had so much fun with our great friends. We started our trip early on Saturday morning when we all met up and took off for Rosman, North Carolina. It was about a 3 1/2 - 4 hour trip but the ride was well worth it, the place was beautiful. We set up camp and then we headed to the rental place where we got out canoes and then we were driven to one part of the river where we put in our canoes and took off. We paddled for about 3 hours before we reached our campground. That night we made burgers and smore's by the camp fire before we headed to bed in our tents. The next morning we got up and had breakfast and then we started our 5 hour canoe trip down the river. It was a beautiful ride and we had a ton of fun! We got picked up by the canoe rental people and was driven to the camp ground again for one last night in our tents. We woke up to a grey sky and a little bit of a drizzle but after a few hours everything was back to normal and it was hot again. We packed up our stuff and headed to a huge waterfall in the mountains where the guys swam in freezing water. After that the rest of the group kept on going on their vacation but we had to head home and took a drive through the Smokey Mountains which was beautiful!! 
Such a wonderful trip!
