Last year James and I won a silent auction bid for a weekend getaway to the North Carolina mountains. Our hosts, Richard and Beth, treated us to a wonderful weekend of great food, yummy smores and a day at
Tweetsie Railroad.

The girls loved making smores on the outdoor stone patio with a built in fire pit. Nothing like a gigantic marshmallow and chocolate before bedtime, right?


On Saturday, we traveled the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway to Tweetsie Railroad. Sarah Ellen was Mr. Richard’s biggest fan and did not leave his side all day.

Our first adventure was to board the steam engine train for a wild west adventure. As you can tell, Lily was a wee bit anxious about the train ride, but perked up once we began. I am proud of her for facing her fears!



The train periodically stopped so we could watch the adventures of the local cowboys and Indians.









They had plenty of rides. Lily and I stuck with the merry go round, while Daddy, SE and Mr. Richard rode the ferris wheel.

This little guy was roaming free!







Richard and Beth do not have grandchildren yet, but they sure are going to make fabulous ones one day! Our girls gave them plenty of practice.
