Mountain Getaway 2019- Hiawassee
Growing up, my grandparents and great-grandparents lived in the mountains of NC and every Christmas my family would make the trek up there to spend some time with them. After my great-grandparents passed away, my grandparents moved to SC to be closer to family and the trips, obviously, stopped. Four years ago, we started the tradition again and have taken a mountain getaway with my family each Christmas. We set aside time to head back to the mountains, to end our year with some quality family time. As each year passes, I am more thankful for the time with my grandparents. This year, my mom’s parents joined in on the…
Mountain Getaway 2018: Franklin
Every Christmas, my family takes a mountain trip. In the past, we’ve always gone after Christmas but due to work schedules, we went last weekend before the holiday. We’ve tried a few different places over the years like Lake Lure, NC, Dillard, GA, and this year, we headed to Franklin, NC. My dad typically finds a house on AirBnB and this year he found the cutest remodeled farmhouse. It had a ton of history, dating back to the early 1900’s, which is right up Cory’s alley.

Last year, my dad decided that he wanted to continue an old family tradition and head to the mountains after Christmas. Growing up, my grandparents and great-grandparents lived in the mountains of NC and every Christmas my family would make the trek up there to spend some time with them. Some of my fondest childhood memories occurred in these mountains and I’m so excited to give Baker the same opportunities. We rented a lake house on Lake Lure last year but this year, we tried something different and went to Dillard, GA. A few days after Christmas, we headed up the mountain to spend a few days with my parents,…
Mountain Getaway 2016: Lake Lure
Growing up, my grandparents and great-grandparents lived in the mountains of NC and every Christmas my family would make the trek up there to spend some time with them. After my great-grandparents passed away, my grandparents moved to SC to be closer to family and the trips, obviously, stopped. So this year, my dad decided that he wanted to start the tradition afresh and take a few days to head back to the mountains, to end our year with some quality family time and start the new year off rejuvenated. Even though we weren’t back at my grandparents’, we rented a lake house on Lake Lure and headed up on…
