Between a Lake and a Hard Place

I am such a slowpoke. I woke up very early the next day to iron my hair (yup, I'm vain like that!) and ended up having to tie it in a very unattractive ponytail since Camille was there early and they were ready to leave for Chimney Rock, North Carolina.

Lunch at Larkin's by the Lake with my uncle, 2 cousins and my cousin's fiance, Mike. Great, great seafood. But nothing beats the view here. It's not called Lake Lure for nothing.

This is Uncle Vince, who looks and acts so much like my dad and Vinnie at the back. Taken inside the cave going up Chimney Rock.

I hate any sort of climbing. I climb subway steps, get into 49th and Broadway and I'm energized in a way no mountain ever could. Pardon me but I'm a city girl through and through.

View of Lake Lure atop Chimney Rock, Vinnie never smiles...
