Day 44: Go somewhere I have never been before

Today we drove to Murphy North Carolina for a mini vacation. Since more than most of our vacations and weekends are spent at the beach, a retreat to the mountains is as foreign to me as a weekend in Bombay. A small gravel winding road led up to the cabin that was situated on the banks of the Hawassee River. The porch offered a fantastic view of the river from the hot tub. Within an hour of being at the cabin, I was already planning a return trip. I imagine the view changes remarkably with each season. After unpacking the cars, making the obligatory trip to Wal Mart, and a great dinner, we watched the night settle into the mountains.
