My Travels: North Carolina

You probably didn't know this, but my family lives in two places, North Carolina and Florida. Our house in North Carolina is pretty big if you count all the floors (and the attic). My dad, brother, and I sometimes, go mountain biking. Our whole family goes on hikes, catches newts at our lake, fishes, and kayaks. Brevard and Naples are like opposites. Naples is flat, and Brevard is very mountainous. Brevard has no real coastal beach, while Naples has a lot of beaches. I like Naples a tiny bit more than Brevard because Naples is always hot and I don't like cold weather, but in Brevard I have a lot of awesome adventures.

Here is a picture of me borrowing my friend Julia's kayak.

This is my brother, Cameron, paddle boarding.
This is after the 5 mile hike to Bridal Veil Falls. We're still smiling! (Nice flowers, Annie!)
Brevard has some pretty tall mountains, as you can see from this photo!
This is a picture at Duck Pond Pottery, where you can eat pizza, listen to music, and buy pottery. However, it's a strange name because there is no pond or ducks (although there is a river).
As you can see in these photos, Brevard has the most concentration of waterfalls of anywhere in the world.

      Thanks for commenting on my blog Nina! I hope you can come to Naples again soon, so that way you can see the Naples beaches for real, not just from my blog.

    I really liked reading your article about all the fun things to do in Brevard. I think your pictures are really cool! And, you're a good writer too!

    Can you show pictures of Naples in your next article, so we can see why you like Naples just a little bit better? Naples must be really awesome!

    Also, it would be great to read an article about what games you like to play. I like hide and seek and a board game called Firefly!

      Thanks Uncle Ralphie. I'll try to add some Naples photos so you and Lauren can see why I REALLY like Naples. I'll put one fact why I like my home: I like the way it's warm there, and it can get REALLY cold in NC, so thats why I like Naples.

    Wow, I'm impressed by this blog Cooper! We might vacation in Bryson City, NC this summer. Do you know where that is?
    I hope to see you soon!

      Thanks Doug! The truth is, I am impressed with myself! I have no idea what Bryson City is. Can you send me some info on it? I think Jack and Carly should start a blog, because trust me, it's actually pretty simple. If you need any help, send an email to my mom because she's an expert.

    I love reading about your adventures Coop Man! My visit to Brevard was one of my favorite trips ever. I am also very impressed with your writing ability and creative/descriptive word choices. As a teacher and your aunt...I am very proud! I think my favorite picture is with you and Annie at the Duck Pond and my favorite fact/caption is about the waterfalls. Keep posting - I cannot wait to show my students!

    Hi Cooper!

    We really love your blog and of course the North Carolina entry is our favorite. Sounds like we need to visit Naples since it is a tiny bit better than Brevard :) We will keep following your blog to hear more about your adventures. Hopefully you can write an entry soon about your fun adventure to visit us in New York!

    Wendy, Eric, Jamin, and Cora
