Looking Glass Falls

After Sliding Rock we drove over to Looking Glass Falls just off of the Scenic Byway. These falls can be seen by the byway or you can get an up close look at them after just a short hike. You can’t come this far and not hike down to see them in all of their beauty. The girls liked getting up close to them and feeling the mist coming off of them. After the frigid water of Sliding Rock, they didn’t feel the urge to jump in and swim.
Looking Glass Falls are named for how they look in the winter when the water freezes and creates a mirrored effect, hence, Looking Glass.

In awe of the natural beauty around us.

The background almost doesn't look real, I feel like we're standing in front of a green screen. :)


After all of our hiking and swimming the girls were pretty beat, which was perfect since we had another 5 hours ahead of us in the car. We headed out of North Carolina and finally arrived in South Carolina! We pulled in to Myrtle Beach about 9:00 and checked in. Our room is amazing with 2 queen beds, a murphy bed, and a sofa bed. Grace wanted to sleep closest to the balcony so she could hear the ocean, Emma thought the murphy bed was awesome since it came 'out of the wall,' so Norah got a queen all to herself. There is a kitchen and a bathroom separating the two rooms so it is nice to put the girls to sleep and not have to go to sleep at the same time as them.
