We took a quite trip to Boone, North Carolina over the MLK holiday. It's only a three hour drive from home so we left early Sunday morning on the 18th and went straight to Sugar Mountain. We planned to just check out the area so we would know for future ski trips. Savannah just wanted to see snow and unfortunately it was too warm to see snow fall. Of course the mountain had their own man-made snow so people were skill able to enjoy the slopes. We tried to tube while there but the line was too long and we didn't have enough time to wait for the next opening. Instead Savannah and Oscar went ice skating while Walker and I watched from the side.

The next day we went to Hawksnest for some family tubing. Both kiddos were able to ride down the hills sitting in mine and Oscar's laps and they had soooo much fun!! Walker loved being pulled around in the tube and he was such a trooper despite the cold and being bundled up.

After a couple of hours tubing it was time to head home. We stopped for Chick-fil-A drive through, watched a movie and before we knew it, we were pulling into the driveway. We were even home in plenty of time to unpack, relax, and hit up Jason's Deli for dinner. We're so lucky to live within a short drive of the mountains in one direction and the beach in another. That makes these little overnight trips so easy to have every now and again.
