Banner Elk, NC Vacation


Colby and Joe(new Mom and Dad to be) stopped in Kingsport on their way up to Banner Elk for a weeks vacation. Baby Baker is due on tax day 2014.

Colby and Joe enjoying the 2013 Avery County Woolly Worm Festival. In some parts of the world, it is believed that the severity of the winter can be predicted by the intensity of the black on the Isabella tiger moth’s larvae (caterpillar). In the American Northeast, it is believed that if the woolly worm has more brown on its body than black, it will be a fair winter. If the woolly worm has more black than brown, the winter will be harsh
 

Visitors to Grand Father Mountain drive their own vehicles to an elevation of one mile above sea level, where they enjoy inspirational vistas stretching out for miles in every direction
 
 
 

The Mile High Swinging Bridge is located next to the summit parking area. The 228-foot steel structure is America’s highest suspension footbridge.
