My friend Adrienne was in town for a few days, and we took a quick trip to the mountains.  We went to Linville Caverns, Emerald Village to pan for gems, Grandfather Mountain, and The Blowing Rock.  We fit a lot into a day and spent the evening chillin’ out by the pool, reading, and relaxing.  There were so many great views of the mountains and great cool, non-humid weather.
