I would recommend Mt. Mitchell. It can be reached by a drive to a parking lot near the top.
I also like to visit the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild-Milepost 382 Blue Ridge Parkway
Asheville, NC 28805. 828-523-4110.

If you like Mexican food, there is a great restaurant in Biltmore Village called The Cantina. (They have great margaritas!)

Whatever you do, enjoy yourselves!

Stunning!

If you are planning on the South, visit Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. I’d also recommend Beaufort, SC. In North Carolina try to visit the Outer Banks.

I have a Canon 80D. I know some naysayers will tell you that it is a beginner’s camera, as it’s not full frame. However, the weight of the camera is an issue for me, so it is perfect for me. I love the features it offers. I started with a lower end Canon Rebel, and upgraded when my son told me he needed to “borrow” my camera for art school. Lol! I knew I’d never see it again, and that’s been the case. I was able to buy this camera 2 years ago with 2 kit lenses for $1,100. I have other lenses, and invested in an Sigma 18-300mm last summer. If you are going to be photographing people, there are other prime lenses that are better for this. I’m more of a landscape person myself, although I have used the lens for street photography and have been pleased with the results. If you have any questions, feel free to pm me.

Love this set of photos!

Thanks!

I'm a little late in posting these. My DH and I celebrated our 30th anniversary with a trip to England and Paris.
These are from The Cotswolds and our B & B, called The Old Parsonage House. Parts of it were 600 years old.

Thanks! I actually won a ribbon, my first, with this image. Honorable Mention, but at least I placed!

I don’t care about the rain. I fell in love with the Olympic Peninsula.

I just spent 2 1/2 weeks in Washington, and fell in love! I now want to move there.

Used to visit Lake Waccamaw as a child. Thanks for the memories. Wonderful photo!

I have a Rokinon 35mm f/1.4 full frame lens for Canon. It's never been used. $400.00 plus S&H and insurance if wanted. It doesn't work with my crop sensor camera.

I upgraded from a T3i to an 80D, and couldn't be happier. It's been easy to learn, and I like its features.

Welcome and congratulations on the best journey you'll ever take!

Kingman's Dome is actually Clingman's Dome. Visit Cherokee. There is a great National Park farm on the far side of Cherokee that is wonderful to visit. My brother was a National Park Historian there for 20 years, so we visited quite often. You can then cross into TN and Gatlinburg from there.
