Holiday Travels

The day after Christmas the six of us plus Pappy & Mema piled in the car and drove to Black Mountain, NC, to visit the Siegenthalers and Harrises. Besides enjoying our cousins we toured the Grove Park Inn to see the entries in the annual National Gingerbread House and spent some time at Biltmore Village.

Beautiful view from the porch.

 

Immediately upon returning to Atlanta, my mom and I flew to New York for the surprise birthday of our dear family friend Betty Vogt, who lives and works at the historic Crabtree’s Kittle house Inn in Chappaqua. Thanks to dad and Erik for holding down the fort at home.
