The Carolina That Is North....

Hello My lovely Family and Friends!
I am so very sorry that i have not posted anything new lately, and as you know, our family has in fact recently gotten back from North Carolina. (!!!!) We went with two other families for the main reason of even going in the first place...the southeast vineyard church conference. :) The youth portion was super fun, i got to do a lot of sweet things I've never done before on the one hand (things like tubbing down a river, and finding out just how out of shape i actually was via. laser tag in the woods....that was pretty intense ;)) and on the other i had a really great time getting closer to God.
I also discovered, this being my first time to NC, just how pretty it is. Where we stayed, there were mountains pretty much everywhere. Just driving places i wanted to pull out my camera and take pictures.
Though pretty much all of the people attending the conference stayed near the building in a hotel, we chose another route. The place we stayed at (yes, all three of our families) was the highest house on a moutain side and had an amazing view out the front windows. No joke.

With about 6 bedrooms, there was more than enough room ;)
And just one more thing, something that i included in the video, something i really enjoyed and was really scared go down was Sliding Rock. For those of you who do not know what Sliding Rock is, it is a (very large, very smooth) waterfall that you..wait for it...slide down! The water temperature is about 50 degrees year round! Something very hard for Floridians to get past. I was so scared to do it but when you get half way up the line and realize that there are 6 year old's going down it by themselves...you kinda have no choice. In the end i was happy i did it.

Oh, and heres a waterfall down the road we stopped to swim in afterward. I actually touched the back of it! Gorgeous! :)

All in all. this trip was great. I love north Carolina and would be more than willing to visit again any day. I hope you enjoy my video! :)
