Because the 32 degrees in Charlotte wasn't quite cool enough for us we decided to venture North to the mountains this weekend. Our tour guides (the Brownies) led us to Boone where we played in the "snow" on the campus of Ashley's old stomping grounds and then on to Blowing Rock- with a brief stop (read that- drive thru) at one of NC's ski resorts. (they have man made snow for that) You gotta remember this is NC and snow here isn't deep or necessarily pretty---but it was cold. :) Regardless of the frigid temps and lack of snow the laughs and "fellowship" (Ashley's word) made it a great outing. We saw some great views of the mountains, none of which I can show you due to a variety of technical difficulties. Joe thought you could just look online to see pics...here are the links you'll need: Blowing Rock, Mast General Store, Boone, App Ski Mountain, Appalacian State and for the best sweet tea in the state- Troys Diner. Here are the pics we did get...they were all taken the same day...not during a 3 year spread like Ashley's camera says...she really needs to figure that out!

Mindy,
I was in South Dakota this last weekend for my boyfriend's 31st b-day and anyway, it was SO COLD!!!! We went tubing Saturday and it was a "toasty" ZERO degrees outside!!! GREAT FUN! So I can feel ya on the "Talk about freaking cold" thing - Only thing is I don't have to live in it all the time like ya'll do - LOL.

Fortunately we don't live in it. It is quite a bit warmer in NC than what ya'll have had in OK. But when you go up into the mountains...thats where it is CHILLY! Which is why I prefer to our beach outings!
The fellowship was the best--which
