Took a quick day trip to the North Carolina mountains alone for my birthday. No story for this one; I took the week off from all work. Enjoy the photos!

I then hiked a mile to the swimming area of the lake.

After I’d been in the water about 20 minutes, it started to rain! I didn’t mind the rain, but the second I saw lightning, I hightailed out of the lake. I changed clothes and walked a mile back to the car through the woods in the rain. Luckily, I was prepared with a hat, poncho, and umbrella (like always), so it was still fun.

I then drove about an hour to Asheville and landed at Wedge Brewery.

Weary from the hiking, rain, and driving, I headed home and instantly fell asleep.

(Well, look at that, you got a little story out of me. Can’t help myself, I guess.)
