Where? Right There.

AfterVictory.comWe had a visitor last week from Forks of Ivy. Aunt Deirdre drove near clear across the state to visit us, dodging treacherous rock slides along the way.
We went to downtown Raleigh, Trader Joe’s, and Hemlock Bluffs state park for a hike. She treated us to supper at The Remedy Diner in downtown Raleigh, which was very tasty. Lots of fun!
Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, enjoying the free wifi now offered.
Ted’s first walking-almost-the-whole-way hike, over a mile!
Leaves – the fascination is real.
Visiting the cow, goats, donkey, turkey, and more at the farm yard.
Playing music at Loblolly Park.
They had all kinds of drums and bells for Ted to play.
My favorite part of the museum was the Magic Wings Butterfly House.
Ted enjoyed the Gentle Zone of the Play to Learn part of the museum. They had a section just for kids his age to run free and play with all kinds of age appropriate toys and a little house with stairs and a slide just his size. His favorite part was a ball track on the wall, where he was figuring out gravity.
Last weekend we packed up the car and headed out west to visit our aunts. They live in western NC and run the Forks of Ivy blog. They just built a new house with a great view of the surrounding area. It was nice to get away from suburbia for a few days, and nice to see our now in-state family!
Ted had a great time – he enjoyed running around and dancing and hanging with his fam.
We went for a short hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway, too.
And there were pancakes! Delicous fresh pancakes that Ted gobbled right up. Ted prefers locally ground pancake-mix we think. He was very well behaved the entire weekend.
Can’t wait for our next trip out there!
