On the road again... Day 5 - May 21,2012

On Tuesday we headed towards Cherokee. On our way we stopped along the way. We stopped at Patton's Overlook in the Nantahala National Forest where the river runs through and it was beautiful!  We took pictures of enough bugs to realize we could never live in North Carolina, while it is beautiful, there were too many creepy crawlers we couldn't identify!

 Moving on, we stopped for a drink and a gemstone shop caught our eye so we decided to check it out. We all got some bargain buys and got to learn a little about the area from the nice older man running the shop. We soon made it to Cherokee where we had lunch at a pizza buffet. After lunch we toured the town which is a strip with all kinds of handmade Indian gifts and apparel. Definitely some good buys there too! 




As we headed back it started to rain but that just meant more great pictures for Jen! We had dinner at a rib joint called Rib Country, sooo yummy!
