Lake Lure

Last Friday was such a beautiful day here in NC. On my way to the mountains, I decided to take a little detour off the highway and visit Lake Lure. It's such a cute little area with a "beach", beautiful views and cute little shops and restaurants. I love visiting there for a little picnic or walk around the lake. I think the last time I was up there was with my mom for our birthdays. We went horseback riding, shopping and had a great dinner at a local restaurant.

Friday was super hot and there was a crowd of people on the "beach". As I walked by I could hear children laughing and splashing in the water and smell the suntan lotion and picnic lunches. I thought it was a beautiful day to take some pictures so I'd like to share them with you today!! Have y'all ever been to Lake Lure??

    What a beautiful place - and it has a spa, too! It's exactly the sort of place I love to go to to relax.

    Yes, I've been. It's beautiful there! Did you know that's where Dirty Dancing was filmed. Great location, yet so random. :) I still don't know how they found it.

    Woa that looks so pretty with the mountains in the background!! I'd love to go there & just chill-ax all day. NC looks a lil bit like where I live in New York. There are lil spots with the mountains all around so it feels like you have your own lil world! Gorgeous!

    That place looks so relaxing and nice. I love it. The best part is not having to deal with salt water.
