I heard that the mountains in North Carolina are really pretty. I have been living in North Carolina for a little over 5 years now, but I have never ventured to the mountains. I picture tons of trees very colorful leaves, beautiful streams and a lot of log cabins decorated with mountain living furniture. You know furniture made out of logs like the one pictured. Of course I am stretching my imagination, not all of the houses are log cabins, but that is what I pictured. Maybe one day I will take my family and venture to the mountains, I know there is a lot to do and see there. If I am not mistaken it about a few hours maybe 3-4 hours from my house. So a day trip would be really fun seeing all of the sites while we drive up there.
