Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain


The day before Stephanie and Daniel left for Huancayo Peru in South America we spent enjoying the beautiful town of Blowing Rock North Carolina with them. We stayed in a lovely 3 suite hotel and ate (way too much) southern style cookin' at Danl' Boones Restaurant. You know the kind of food....swiss steak, fried chicken, virginia baked ham, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, baked apples, green beans, banana pudding, strawberry shortcake, apple butter and homemade biscuits....ummmmm. Yes, and we ate it all! So, that night we hiked a trail in Blowing Rock and walked the very exclusive stores where we purchased old fashioned candy (which we did not need at all, but we certainly seemed to polish it off before we got home!


Dad and Daniel tried some Suma Wrestling while in we were in Virginia and Stephanie and Mom enjoyed catching up and enjoying being together!






After Dan and Stephanie left for the airport, we then went to Grandfather Mountain to see the biosphere there. The animals we saw were wonderful as well as walking across the mile-high bridge! It was a long ride home, but we did have a wonderful weekend.
