Our Trip to the NC Mountains




We traveled to Raleigh last weekend so that I could run the half marathon there on Sunday morning. The weather and my asthma kept me from running, so we decided to head over to Blowing Rock for the afternoon instead. Mom, Mike, Chatham, and Johnathan all went with us. Stephen was so excited for the girls to see Tweetsie Railroad, which he enjoyed as a child. It was VERY cold, especially for two little South Georgia girls but I don't think they even noticed they had so much fun!
We rode the Mouse Train and the big Tweetsie train, which is a true, old steam engine that's coal powered. We say a Cowboys and Indians battle, rode the ferris wheel (which made Mary Grace squeal with delight, "I never done this before!"), drank hot chocolate, watched a show (Mary Grace even got on stage and sang), and had a day full of fun! After Tweetsie, we went to see Mom and Mike's condo at Chetola, which is so nice! We're already planning a trip back there for next summer!
I'll add more photos later.
