Fall Break - North Carolina

 Over fall break we stayed 3 nights in Dillsboro, North Carolina, near Cherokee. I picked a house to stay in downtown so we wouldn't have to drive crazy mountain roads to get there. The house is directly across the street from the Haywood Smokehouse, some of the best bbq we've ever had. We visited Mingus Mill, hiked at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, walked around downtown Dillsboro, drove and walked around Cherokee, visited the Cherokee museum, hiked to Mingo Falls, drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway s couple times, mined for gems, visited the North Carolina Arboretum, and took a crazy windy drive to visit the Cradle of Forestry in America.
