Beautiful Weekend Trip with Friends!

We went away this weekend and it was the best!!! It is always fun to getaway with a bunch of friends. We went to the mountains to a great little Inn. As soon as we all got checked in we decided to drive up the mountain to a ski resort. Our friends Paulette and Dave decided to ride the bike since the weather was so beautiful, unseasonably warm for November almost 70 on Saturday afternoon... and in the mountains that is really crazy warm! I haven't been on a bike in 28 years when we were kids and had our bike. So I ask Paulette if I could go with Dave??? She said sure and dressed me in all her leathers to keep me warm and away I went...
They made my weekend!

You can't tell I'm excited... Can You!!!

What a beautiful bike, Nothing like a Harley!!! Riding up that mountain with all the curves brought back many a memory!!! I had a great time...


Here is our group standing in front of the Inn on Sunday Morning
From left to right : Tom & Lynn - Dave & Paulette - Mike & Mary
Can you believe November 15 and 65 degrees... A perfect weekend to take a trip...
This is the owner of the Brazen Head Inn, Will on Bass. We really enjoyed hearing all his stories Will and Jill told us about the Inn & listening to the music all evening..



Tom & I...
It was an evening of playing dominoes with great friends.... Mexican Train Dominoes... Wonder who's winning....


Jill is on fiddle, her and her husband Will own this wonderful Inn.. They jammed all evening, while we were there. We all sang along to the tunes we knew. Such a wonderful place to just kick back and have a great time!!! I can't wait to go back!


Earlier Saturday evening when we drove up the mountain to Snow Shoe Ski Resort
What a beautiful place with a great view...
Elevation 4800 ft.

Paulette, Mary and Me...

Part of the Village at Snow Shoe. But it was really quiet up there,no snow they don't open until next weekend. I'm sure there will be snow by than. But it was in the upper 60's this weekend. It was a perfect weekend...



After we left on Sunday we took a drive to National Radio Astronomy Observatory
Green Bank we got some great shots of it...



On Slaty Fork looking at the beautiful deer and scenery...


Now this is a country road... Beautiful!!!



Just looking up at that beautiful sky...
As we were coming around a curve this is what we saw. It about scared me to death! But it is fake the guy is all stuffed... But how real it looked as we rounded that curve. I made Tom turn around and go back to take pictures... LOL


This was right across the street...


Some beautiful barns, I love to take pictures of them...





Cheat Mountain in Randolph County on this beautiful sunny day...

Hi Lynn...I wondered where you were? Looks like you all had a good time. What a great picture of you and your husband. I think that we all need a "getaway" ever so often.
