We hit Blowing Rock, Boone, and Asheville.I LOVED the Grove Park Inn and enjoyed seeing last year's gingerbread competition winner on display. Now, it's on my bucket list to see the Biltmore at Christmas and take in the Gingerbread competion at GPI! BTW, I was also in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago with my own sister for the Sweet Sister's Conference at FBC. Enjoyed Boo Mama and Big Mama and all the sights of your beautiful city! Then we headed to Wilmington to visit my girls, and took a side trip to Southport. Loved it there too! :) Take care and thanks for sharing all the great entry photos. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12351561112733007860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762514.post-84632002721264264712014-11-24T17:20:09.081-05:002014-11-24T17:20:09.081-05:00My mother-in-law lives about an hour away from the...My mother-in-law lives about an hour away from the Grove Park, and she took our family to see the gingerbread houses several years ago. The line was looooooong, but it was worth the wait. My girls still talk about our visit. I can't imagine the skill and patience it takes to create these masterpieces.Mary Lounoreply@blogger.com
