Safe Haven

I don't know about you but I love all of Nicholas Sparks books and movies. He has got to be one of my favorite authors! One of the great things about his books is that most turn into movies. The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song, A Walk to Remember, and The Lucky One, just to name a few.

Something else that I love about this author is that his books are based in North Caroloina, and not all, but most of his films are filmed in North Carolina as well. His latest book, Safe Haven, is being turned into a movie as I speak. It is being filmed in South Port, North Carolina. I just got done reading this book about a week ago and it was great! The movie will be in theaters in February of 2013.

VA Creeper Trail

This past weekend I went to Virginia with Brad and his family. This vacation has been added to the list as one of my favorites! It was such a relaxing weekend with lots of great memories.

 

To those who don't already know the VA Creeper Trail is a 34 mile long trail starting in Abingdon, VA, traveling through Damascus, Virginia, and ending near the Whitetop Station right at the Virginia-North Carolina border. Brad, his family and I started in Damascus and biked 17 out of the 34 mile trail. I can't descirbe how beautiful it was! Starting at the top we went through lots of snow covering the trails, bridges covered in snow, having to get on and off the bike just to make it across. Somewhere along the way we stopped to take this picture and it captures the beauty of the sky and mountians that we got to see along the way. 

 

If you haven't traveled the Creeper Trail before you have got to do it! With this being the second time I have gone I can say that this past time was my favorite. Even though it was difficult making it on bikes through the snow and past the fallen branches along the way, the scenery was amazing!
