Chimney Rock Park

Our last stop was to Chimney Rock Park. We took a tunnel that takes you into the middle of the mountain and there is an elevator that takes you all the way to the top in 30 sec! Once we got up to the top we grabbed a bite to eat for the boys (and the baby) at the cafe in the sky. The kids thought it was fun to "eat in the clouds" Then we went up to chimeny rock and took some pictures and enjoyed the view. Afterward,we decided we would just take the stairs back down. This is where it all got crazy. Dakota wanted to jump,that's right,JUMP over rocks,skip stairs,and when I had him hold my hand, I believe he saw it as a challenge to see if he could still jump,and maybe take me with him! Needless to say,it was a longgggg way back down. I think it was almost 40 stories back down to where the shuttle buses were. However,we all had alot of fun,and most important made it home safe!
