SPRING VACATION 2009

The weekend after the kids 2nd birthday we packed up and took our spring vacation to North Carolina. We drove through the night on Friday evening. The kids slept most of the trip up there.

The first day we were there was a little rainy which was really nice. Nothing like rain on a tin roof. What a perfect excuse to be lazy. The kids felt at home right away.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous!!

Throughout the week we drove the Blue Ridge Parkway..it was BEAUTIFUL. We drove up to Mt. Mitchell where it was literally freezing and so windy. We got out of the car and then got right back in. The altitude at Mt. Mitchell is 6578 ft.







We hung out by Lake Lure where the Parker chased the geese and the kids got to play on the playground.








Sydney had her first fishing lesson with Daddy.
We explored MeeMaw and Papas property.


We went window shopping in Hendersonville and stopped to eat at our favorite sandwich/soda shop.



We visited the hands-on children's museum in Rutherfordton, KidSense. The kids got to drive a fire truck, fly a jet, shop in a store just their size, read the news, and cook and clean in a kid size restaurant. We had so much fun.






Its definitely been hard getting back to reality.
