The road less traveled

So after getting everyone up and loaded up in the car we set off for a quick road trip.  Well two hours later we ended up in Blowing Rock where we got to Tweetsie Railroad.  I don't know what led us there but it was a great idea!  The boys have never seen a train up close let alone be inside one.  We went for the ride on the train, got taken over by robbers and watched the cowboys fight them off all before lunch.  We also visited Ghost Town in the Sky and met the native americans and the cancan girls.  I'm not sure if the boys liked the town or riding up the mountain on the chair lift more.  I know I was glad when everyone got off safely at the top and again at the bottom.  Those things are a mother's nightmare!  It was a nice little day trip and now we are headed back down the mountain towards home.
