Our Family Vacation 2011 ~ Part 4

Tuesday, we set out for Mt. Jefferson State Natural Area to hike up and look over the city of West Jefferson, NC but first we stopped to eat lunch.

Here’s some of the gang while we were waiting for our food at Brickstone Pizza and Pasta.   The weather was so nice, we opted to eat outside on their patio area.

Leftovers with Ian around! I'm shocked! ;) (tell him I said so)

Another beautiful day out in God's creation! Who wouldn't be on the "top of the world" looking at His marvelous works!
