The first weekend in December our family took a weekend trip to Boone, NC. We had SOOOOO much fun! We had been to Boone a couple of years ago with friends from church, but this year it was just the 4 of us who made the trip. We left on Thursday afternoon after school and drove up to Boone. By the time we got there, it was really, really cold and we were beginning to believe that the weekend forecast of snow might be a reality. We spent all of Friday driving through the mountains admiring all of God's beautiful creation. We were on several 2 lane winding mountain roads. The higher up the mountain we went, we found snow on the mountain tops! It was beautiful. We visited the Mast General Store in Valle Crucis and loaded up on candy from the candy store. We had lunch at a cafe in Banner Elk, made a pit stop on the side of the road to take some pictures of a beautiful waterfall, went to The Blowing Rock where Alex and Emily tried out their rock climbing skills (I tried not to watch) and then finished up our night with all kinds of good food at the Daniel Boone Inn. We woke up on Saturday morning to snow falling. The kids were beyond excited. We left our hotel and made our way back up the mountain to the RRR Christmas Tree Farm where we picked out a beautiful tree that we put on our front porch! It snowed the whole time we were looking for our perfect tree! We were completely frozen by the time we had our tree cut down and tied to the top of Ryan's Tahoe, but we went back to the hotel, changed clothes, warmed up, and headed home! It was a great trip and I hope we have a chance to do it again some time! There were lots of good memories made on this family trip!
