We headed west on Friday morning and took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The leaves were beautiful and very close to peak. We stopped at a few spots to take in the beautiful scenery.
We checked in to our sweet one-bedroom cabin at Mystery Hill right next to Tweetsie Railroad (so close that we could hear the whistle of the haunted train at night!) and then visited the Mystery House where we experienced a gravitational phenomenon! ;) The boys had a blast getting encapsulated in a bubble.
Saturday morning, we headed over to Tweetsie. The boys had a blast on the carnival rides, chair lift, train ride, and petting zoo. I really liked Tweetsie. I am not a huge amusement park fan but thought Tweetsie was the perfect size.
After Tweetsie, we mined for gems at a local gem mine, Doc's Rocks. The boys loved finding treasures, including a finger, added in the bucket as a Halloween prank.
We enjoyed local BBQ at The Woodlands for dinner and satisfied our sweet tooth at the Mast General Store in the beautiful Valle Crucis on Sunday before heading back home. We had a great time and enjoyed the short get-away.
