High Country Debut: Our Anniversary Getaway

On May 22nd, Rup & I celebrated 3 years of happily wedded bliss.  Luckily we both had 2 days off and made the most of our time.  We headed up north to the Boone/Banner Elk/Blowing Rock area known has the high country.  The first day on our way up there we stopped at a few NC wineries that we hadn't visited yet before arriving at our romantic bed & breakfast.  Our first stop the next day was Grandfather Mountain (below), a part of the gorgeous blue ridge mountain range.  



One of the coolest things at Grandfather Mountain was the mile high hanging bridge!







The black bear preserve at Grandfather Mountain is so awesome :) 

After grabbing some lunch we headed to Blowing Rock which gave some more amazing panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.



We had such an amazing trip full of nature, serenity, beauty, and most importantly each other's company. 

The bed & breakfast we stayed at in Banner Elk was beautiful and we highly recommend the The Mast Farm Inn to anyone planning a trip to high country.  The Blacksmith Cottage that we stayed in had a very rustic southern barnyard feel to it and was perfect for us. 

I even got to soak in this tub upstairs in the loft area.


Looking back towards the main house from our cottage porch.

Loved the special anniversary touch <3


Can't wait to celebrate many more anniversaries with the love of my life :)
