Summer trip to Brevard, NC

When I first promised my brother that I was going to visit him in North Carolina, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  He lives in the same state as my in-laws…how far could the drive be? 

It turns out that North Carolina is as wide as Illinois is tall.  As we got closer to vacation, Gretchen started (rightfully) questioning the wisdom of our decision to go.  Our vacation was short enough, but Jeremy and Audra lived 8 hours from the Outer Banks.  Maybe we should postpone…

But in the end we decided to stick to our promise…and it turned out to be a trip that none of us will forget soon.  Jeremy and Audra had moved to the area because of it’s natural beauty and had explored a lot.  In a short time, Jeremy had biked in and around the Pisgah National Forest and found many of the hundreds of waterfalls in the area.

It was great to spend time with them in their home.  Jeremy and Audra are gracious hosts and they have four wonderful children.  The kids loved spending the time with their cousins and we had a great time.  It turns out that we should have planned to stay longer.
