The weekend before school started, we gave tent camping another shot. I am astonished to report that it was fun! Yes, I was shocked. Go back to a post from last summer, camping at lake Jocasse, and you will see how the last time we camped turned out. What a train wreck.
We went up to the Boone area and camped at Julian Price Campground, off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The campground was awesome and the kids enjoyed "real" camping. Although, Myles argued that we still weren't really camping. "Camping is when you go out in the woods and sleep under a tree". Ok, Buddy, you can go sleep out under a tree any time. I will take my tent.
Real camping
The first day we went to Tweetsie Railroad
While Emma loved this ride, she did not enjoy the Ferris wheel or tilt a whirl. I think we traumatized her. It was partially her fault. I wasn't going to let her on the tilt a whirl but she looked at Josh and said, "I need that". Josh obliged and took her on it. She screamed and looked like she was going to barf. Bad parenting on our part.
The next day we went to Grandfather Mountain.
Their animal exhibits are phenomenal
Em soaked in the sun
The Mile High Swinging Bridge.
