First of all...we got a car! Yes, I know...exciting! It was well deserved and planned for and we are loving the new ride!
Then the big trip this year was to Pilot Mountain to see and explore. Blake is at the perfect age where he can start to enjoy some of the touristy things of a town. Granny really enjoyed showing us around everywhere!
We explored both downtown Pilot Mountain and Mt. Airy! Of course, Mt. Airy is often called Mayberry because of the Andy Griffith show. Many people commented on Blake looking like Opie, the little boy from the show. Must have been because of the red hair. :)
Blake also noticed that their were many "tars" or guitars around the area in dedication and decoration to the town.
And would you believe that the town had my favorite animal there!?!?!? Giraffes!!!!
On Day 2 we went to the farm! This was Blake's favorite part! He got to ride on the tractor with Uncle Mike. Jean Carol event showed Blake the horses. That was my favorite part! They are so pretty! I want to ride them! That is on my bucket list, by the way. :)
On Day 3 we went hiking. It was a gorgeous day to see the view. On a clear day, you can hike Pilot Mountain and actual see Winston Salem way off in the distance. Pretty neat! Of course, Blake loved climbing the rocks. I am pretty sure he could have done the 8 mile hike if I would have let him. He is a boy on a mission!
This was such a wonderful trip for us. Spending quality time with Blake is by far my favorite thing to do. I love showing him the world. And he is my world!
