Mountain Trip

The day after Christmas we went to Valdosta Ga. to Wild Adventures to use our year pass and see the "Festival Of Lights" Now when I think of festival of lights I am thinking about like Walt Disney World light show. This was very wimpy, I could have done a way better show but whatev... It was still kinda fun though. We went to the Live Nativity Show and the angel that came up had a super thick georgia accent which I thought was great, "And behold an angel of the Lord..." (Say it with an accent it makes it even better)
From there we went to Macon Bacon Ga. to spend the night. From there we headed to Dilliard Ga.
The campground we stayed at was amazing. If you aren't a camper you won't appreciate this but, the water pressure was amazing for a campground!! We drove up to Franklin, NC to see my grandmarie and grandpaken. After our little visit we ate at the famous Dillard House. They have amazing potatoes there just saying.
Have you ever heard of Maggie Valley NC?? Me either until we went there. We drove over to Tennessee while in the neighborhood one day. Monday we went skiing!!! I had never been before. I fell at least a million times. When we got home I had actual snow burn from one of the times i fell down most of the slope. Needless to say when I woke up Tuesday I was super sore. Muscles I didn't even know I had hurt!! I can't wait to go again. Tuesday we went to the Biltmore Estate. That place is amazing I can't imagine growing up in a place that big!! It even had a bowling alley in it. It was old skool like real old skool but cool nonetheless. Wedensday we went back to Franklin.
When I was younger we use to go on hikes all the time!! My dad decided we should go on a really difficult hike to see some waterfalls. It was 35 degrees and by the time we were done we all stripped down to jeans and t-shirts, it was one of those hikes.
Today we headed home... I am glad to be home but sad the trip is over.
