Road Trip to the Mountains!!!

We had decided that we were going to do a quick road trip to Cherokee, NC.  We had waited too late to get a room at Harrah's but was lucky enough to find a room across the street from the casino.  Any trip with JuJu means that you are stopping at Cracker Barrel so we decided to get that out of the way at lunch.  On our way into Cherokee we stopped at one of our favorite waterfalls right off 19, not a long hike which always makes it a little better.  Once in Cherokee, Samantha said she wanted to see a black bear and since it was sprinkling we decided to play it safe and go to the bear zoo to make sure she got to see them.  She loved feeding the bears and seeing them doing their tricks for food.  We then decided we would try our luck at gem mining and we all had a blast doing it.  Paige won biggest find with a 6 ct Sapphire.  Daddy got into it a little too much and ended up getting mud all over his jacket.  It was time to go check in and get ready for dinner.  Paige had booked reservations at Brio so we walked around checking out Harrah's prior to dinner.  After dinner it was a little more walking around and then time to head to the hotel.  Samantha and grandma put on their pajama's and turned on the tv while mommy and daddy headed to the the casino.  Such a fun day!!!
