The drive up included some really fun stops in Winston Salem to see a Shell gas station shaped like a shell. And a large tea pot.
We got up to the mountains and had lunch before visiting Pisgah Forest to see Looking Glass Falls and Sliding Rock. Kevin went down the rock a handful of times, but I couldn't brave the ice cold water.
After our adventures, we headed over to Camp Pinnacle to check in and start our weekend at camp. Our evening started off with a taco bar. Followed by some games and fun by the lake.
It got cool that night, like really cool (40 degrees) and none of us expected it. It was a little miserable in the bunks!

Saturday morning, Kevin and I took off early for Brevard and the annual White Squirrel Festival. We really wanted to see a White Squirrel and Pisgah Pete was about to appear to the crowds, but we had to get back to camp.
I spent the next few hours helping to set up for the ceremony and reception while Kevin played in the sun with his friends.

Then it was time to get cleaned up for the ceremony.
And time to eat, drink and be merry!
I was exhausted, so it was an early night for me for sure!
Sunday was FUNDAY! We played in the lake.. paddle-boarding and swimming. There was cornhole and I took a 2 hour nap in a hammock. It was THE BEST!
Dinner was from a food truck and was DELICIOUS!!
Monday morning came too soon, but we managed to pack up camp and get on the road home after a quick stop at the Flat Rock Playhouse (we snuck in).
We also stopped to see the abandoned village near Hickory where they filmed District 12 in the Hunger Games.
What an awesome weekend and a great time with friends! Congrats Kelly and Ariel!
