North Carolina and Scream-Time Zip-line!

Last month we took a trip to North Carolina to visit my Aunt and Uncle in their mountain cabin. We had a great time just hanging out, eating at every BBQ joint in town and on our Zip-line adventure.

This was Clementine's favorite part of the trip. All she wanted to do was ride the "Ba boom boom boom" as Clemie calls it. We stayed at a separate cabin just up the road and she has a blast going back and forth.


If you know me, you know that i'm pretty much the ultimate woosie. I hate roller coasters and even going over a hill in the car too fast takes my breath away. We saw some huge billboards along the road for a zip-line tour, so I thought it would be a great idea to conquer one of my fears and suggested we go. I did get pretty feakin nervous, but once we got going I had a great time. Down the first line I was so scared and screamed so loud that I actually scared one of the women on the tour and so she turned around and went back down. Oops! The best part about it was that Clementine got to go too. She and Brent were zipping buddies and she loved every moment of it. Unlike me, she is pretty much fearless.

Me doing an awesome job taking a picture. At least I got the most important person in the frame.
