Happy Birthday Twins!!

Today was the Twin's first birthday and what a fest it was. The theme was Wizard of Oz and the craftsmanship of the decorations and goodies was amazing. Great food too. The Twins got a lot of goodies.

Lenoir NC and Twins Birthday

Great 6 hour, all back roads, run from Wilmington to our favorite Campground in Hickory NC...Indian Springs LINK. Spent the next weeks helping Aunt Gracie recover from her fall and seeing family and friends. The major event was the twin's first birthday on the 24th.

We took Eli to Linville Caverns LINK where a great time was had. From there we went to Chimney Rock  Link for a great view.  Eli was apprehensive about the height but overcame it and seemed to have a great time.

Wilmington and Battleship NC

Short, 4 hour run to the Wilmington KOA LINK. Purpose of this trip is to show grandson Eli the Battleship North Carolina in Wilmington NC LINK. We had a great visit! It was hot out but the self guided tour was very pleasant and not hot at all. They have done a great job of maintaining the ship and organizing it for the tour. Lots of walking up and down ladders to the bowels of the ship to the bridge. Some pictures.

The KOA is quite nice. The only site they had left was a deluxe one...$80/day!!!! A humongous BBQ grill and paved patio was included. It was fun for 2 nights but too rich for our blood. Eli loved the pool though.

Had a great meal at the Indian restaurant. This place is a must. LINK
