Looks like great fun and some quality time. We have chain ladders in some mountains where I often run and hike. They can be very scary if you are not comfortable with heights.

these pics were awesome! love it! -ayedubbs

That is awesome that you went to the ACC title game! That must have been a ton of fun!

I'm a tax accountant for work. Pretty much all I spend my money on is sports, traveling and running, haha Though for the Olympics next year my friend is living in London, so I get to stay there for cheap. Otherwise no way I could afford it!

1.5 miles in 1hr 18mins? That's the worst pace for any trail run, ever! j/k! That looks like a challenging, but fun hike. Hopefully you'll get that tropical vacation that you've been putting off in 2012!

Congrats on Clemson winning the ACC and now going to the Orange Bowl! Honestly I thought that Virginia Tech was going to win, with how Clemson was playing recently. Seems like they proved all the people wrong out there. I went to the Orange Bowl last year for Stanford-Virginia Tech, it was a ton of fun. Are you going to go to the game?

That little B&B is adorable. Im not much of a fan of swinging bridges either. The views are amazing though.

Just a a FYI.. I would be totally jealous if you were compensated to go to such a nice place and blog about it and for the record Id like to be invited if you ever are!! :)

Looks like a lovely trip! And you can't beat $89/night.

I'm cracking up at that drawing you did during your meeting (last post). I just draw some totally not creative loops when I'm stuck at a meeting.

Great post!!!

Great pics! Looks like a great hike! (and a tough one!) That ladders look pretty intense, I don't doubt at all the warnings on that sign!

Good luck to Clemson in the game tomorrow!

2011-12-02T11:32:10.879-05:00

I get nervous of heights too, unless I am fully strapped in - like a roller coaster. I don't think I could do that! My stomach turned just looking at the ladders. :SHUDDER:

Where's the red & green?!?!?!

Just so you know, your spare room is always available here in WI for a vacation!! We're within driving range.....just saying!
There's so much so see in this state and I promise I won't make you climb the steps of Holy Hill....;)

**grandfather mountain looks like it's worth the expense. such a nice, safe bridge

2011-12-01T15:10:13.943-05:00

Wow, that is amazing. I was at the brp in August of this year, but didn't get in the whole leaf peeping thing. I still have yet to visit Grandfather Mountain. isn't there a marathon there or something I read about recently in a blog? An afidavit? lol. Sounds like USCIS talk. Ahhhhhh. Thanks for sharing your lovely stats for November and the pictures. Oh yeah, a B&B in the mountains during off season (cold) can be fairly cheap. Love it! Take care.

we are really bad about putting off our vacations too. It's just WRONG! Once again, we talking about a late Jan. trip...... we shall see

Glad you guys we able to get away.

2011-12-01T13:48:40.608-05:00

It's been a few years, but I loved the place. The pics bring back some good memories. I would love to train there - Imagine the hill repeats :-)

LOVE all the little *'s at the bottom of the screen.

So grandfather mountain is on my list of little weekend/day trips that I'd like to do. It's a little bit of a drive down from Richmond VA so we'd probably do something like you and we'd perhaps stop off in Asheville for the night or lunch or somethin'. Good to know that you enjoyed it, I am going to move this closer to the top of my list.

2011-12-01T12:03:02.951-05:00

How gorgeous!!!!!!!! Love all the pics, it definitely looks like it was intense. I don't know if I would be brave enough to scale those ladders though.
