While we were in Valle Crucis Papa took us to visit a friend of his who’d just built a palace house. OMG it was amazing. It’s available for rent. It has this amazing wrap around porch that I swear is bigger than my house. We toured the house then sat out on the porch and…

So, what did we do while in the mountains for a week? We visited the Mast General Store a few times, like we always do. While driving in and out of the Valle we noticed bunny hutches across from the Mast Farm Inn. So one day we stopped to visit the bunnies. So cute! They…

I’m home from spending most of last week in Valle Crucis. If you aren’t familiar with Valle Crucis, NC it is pronounced Valley Croosiss and means Valley of the Cross. I love it so much up there. It’s my favorite place to be. Time slows. I knit in the rocking chair on the front porch…

Just a few things I realized I forgot to mention in my trip report. The Disney Wonder’s horn plays the first few notes of “When You Wish Upon A Star”. SO cute! If you click on this pic you can see all the horns. One for each note. The restrooms on the Disney Wonder blew…

I know you must be thinking GOOD LORD ISN’T THIS TRIP OVER YET?? But no, dear readers, there is more! Behold- the story of Friday, November 7. I decided I’m going to use the word Behold more. It sounds way more important that look, or check it out. Behold- your dinner! Ok, back to my…

Thursday November 6th we woke up and went to breakfast at Animator’s Palate. It was bittersweet since we’d soon be leaving the ship. We said our goodbyes and gave lots of hugs. After breakfast it was time to disembark and again, Disney’s got it DOWN. We zipped off that ship, sailed through customs, found our…
