Memorial Day 2013

Andrew took a few days off and coupled it with Memorial Day so that we had 5 days with Daddy!!! We took off to my parent's mountain house to enjoy some hiking and relaxing. On Friday, we took the children to the original Mast General Store and the Annex in Valle Crucis. This was very exciting to Ceilidh due to her obsession with Little House on The Prairie and very exciting to Graeme b/c of all the candy the store offers! wink Graeme very specifically told us he wanted to watch the sunset on top of a mountain, so we drove to Macrae meadows on Grandfather Mountain, and did just that. It really was beautiful. On Saturday, we ate an amazing breakfast at Dan'l Boone Inn, and then went hiking on the Blue Ridge Parkway. We saw one of the most incredible random waterfalls I have ever seen. Sunday, my parents came up for a day to see the children. We played on the community playground, drove up Beech Mountain, and enjoyed a yummy mexican dinner before they headed back home. It was sad to see Monday come, but we eased our sadness about leaving by eating lunch at the new Five Guys (!!!) in Boone. I have LOTS more fun stories, but I will leave you with the fun pictures! wink
