Justin and I headed to the Smoky Mountains a few weeks ago for a relaxing mountain getaway and it was wonderful!! We flew into Atlanta and then drove about 3ish hours to Bryson City, which is in the far west part of North Carolina. We were ready to get there and relax!!!
We arrived into Atlanta around 2ish and we were starving for lunch. Our favorite burger place we found in Dubai had just opened in Atlanta and we could not wait to have it again! We love Shake Shack! Great start to our trip!
After lunch we drove around three hours to Bryson City. The drive was beautiful and looked that like this most of the way.....

Day one- we explored Downtown Bryson
The train station
Nantahala Brewery
Dinner time!
Day 2 we woke up early and drove to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It was about an hour and a half drive. We were able to see some beautiful sites!
That afternoon, we went paddleboarding and had so much fun! This has been on my bucket list for a while and it felt good to cross it off!
The view driving back to our cabin- beautiful!!
Day 3 we hiked in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. There was a trail in Bryson City called Deep Creek and it was great!
After the hike, we stopped at a local deli in downtown. WOW! After a long hike, this hit the spot.
That afternoon we went to the local spa for a hot stone massage. It was amazing!!! Here we are after the massage feeling so relaxed!!!
That night Justin grilled steaks....
...while I finished my book with this view.
Bye beautiful North Carolina! What a perfect place to relax and recharge! Thank you to Nana, Papa, Gigi, and Pops for watching the boys while we were away. They had a blast and we appreciate you watching them while we recharged!!
