Blue Ridge Parkway

After the Arboretum we drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway (considered one of the most beautiful drives in the US) toward the Cradle of Forestry in Pisgah National Forest. Emma and Norah loved driving through all of the tunnels; including Pine Mountain Tunnel, one of the longest on the Parkway. Grace loved stopping at all of the overlooks and checking out all of the amazing views. Halfway through our drive we stopped off at Pisgah Inn for lunch overlooking Mount Pisgah. This all-glass restaurant provided a 180 degree view of the Smoky Mountains while we ate lunch. We had a corner table so we enjoyed our lunch with some incredibly unobstructed views of the mountains…not to mention our lunch was delicious…the Carolina’s know their BBQ!


Her face says it all. The views were incredible...and the drops-off were STEEP!

A favorite were the tunnels when the radio would go out. No signal when your under a mountain, the girls couldn't believe it went out every.single.time.

Who cares about waiting for a table when this is the view?! The Mt. Pisgah inn was the perfect place for lunch! 

All-glass walls with an incredible view of the mountains.
