Here’s one final photo from our 2008 North Carolina vacation. Sometimes I am still amazed by the beautiful spot we got engaged (the top of Mt. Craig).

My husband and I had the best time exploring Moses H. Cone Memorial Park on our fall engagement vacation a few years ago. It was the day after we got engaged, and I was in heaven – with both the gorgeous views and anticipation for what the future held.

Some of the most brilliant autumn leaves I’ve ever seen were on our trip to North Carolina in 2008.
(See why I’m posting a photo from five years ago.)

Five years ago, my boyfriend (now husband) and I traveled to North Carolina. I was excited for the beautiful fall colors along Blue Ridge Parkway and in the Great Smoky Mountains, gorgeous waterfalls, and quaint southern towns. I got all of that and more – most importantly, a gorgeous “rock.” Jerod proposed to me on top of Mt. Craig (the second tallest peak east of the Mississippi, since the tallest peak – seen below – was closed for construction). Five years seems like such a long time, because it feels like he’s always been a part of my life, yet five years has flown by. I know five years is just the beginning of our journey, but it’s been a great ride so far!


This past week, my husband and I took a road trip with another couple to North Carolina & South Carolina. We had an amazing trip! We just got back last night, so I obviously haven’t sorted through all my photos yet, but here are just a few of my favorites. As you can see, we had quite the mixture of activities throughout our trip.
