Vacation Part 2 - North Carolina

Our vacation continues as we explore America's Largest Underground Sea...The Lost Sea.
We stopped along the way at a local rest stop to check out the area maps and take in the beautiful sunshine.


Since the Lost Sea is underground you have to enter and hike down a cave to access it...Chad and I at the cave entrance.

Inside the cave...not much light so you can't see the mineral deposits that have taken 700 years to grow 1 cubic inch.

Chad in the boat at the Lost Sea...once again not much background captured.

It is said to be 1 week of good luck if you touch the bear claw and 1 month if you hug it...so here is Kiersten and I hugging the bear claw!

Susan, Kiersten and I in front of the Sweet Shop in the old timey village.

Other pictures to share...Brooks and the view up river

We have had one of the best trips to NC and hate to leave but tomorrow we are headed to South Carolina for Leslie & Jeff's wedding! More exciting moments to come.

Jana and Chad,
I know that you hate to leave the Martins in NC, but is not so bad knowing that you will see them again in a FEW WEEKS!!!
Praying for the continuation of your safe, fun journey,
MOM
