Castle in the Clouds

Good morning from beautiful Scenic Wolf Resort in Mars Hill, NC!  Oh my goodness this is such a beautiful place.  We spent seven hours driving yesterday,  much of it in blinding rain and fog.  Cameron slept the last 3 hours.  As we starting climbing the foggy winding road I was imagining how beautiful it must look in daylight.  The road got more and more narrow- and steep- and dark....I was getting so excited about being in the mountains.  Then Sophie and Alec started making references to horror movies, and how we definitely shouldn't stop if a man in a flannel shirt steps out of the woods and flags us down.  They were so funny.  

We finally made it up to the top and found our cabin, we are all the way at the end of the road, at the very top, last cabin on the road hanging off the edge of the mountain.  BLISS.  I think Cameron has hugged me a dozen times and said how happy he is.  When we came in last night all three of them were running around, enjoying the discovery and exploration of a four-story cabin!  We got to bed after midnight, and I was really looking forward to waking up and seeing the amazing view from the incredible windows.  You can see what we woke up to!  More fog.  It's supposed to clear later, though, and tomorrow is supposed to be more sunny.

For now,  we are sitting here relaxing in complete bliss,  which is truly what we all need.  We're counting our many blessings today and I'm grateful I have all my chickadees in my mountain nest!  Our options on the table are: shopping for me and Soph in Asheville, golf for Dale,  Fun Depot for the boys.....so much to do.  Tomorrow- maybe some more golf, ziplining for the big kids, museums for me and Cam.  We'll see.  The great thing about being on holiday- we'll just go with the flow.  For now, we are content to sit in our castle in the clouds and have a lazy morning in Black Bear Lodge.

More later.  xxx
