We went to North Carolina on our winter family vacation that we have not been able to do in 3 years. We left on Tuesday night about 11:40 p.m., right after our soccer game, which we won 4 to 1! We drove about 4 hours while the kids were sleeping and then checked into a hotel in Savannah Georgia. The hotel was very clean and cozy, we played with the boys for about 30 minutes (at 4:30 a.m.)and then it was lights out for all. Right as Gil and I were falling into that great sleep, Esai, who sleeping in our bed, threw up all over!
Gil ended up sleeping on the bed with no sheets and wrapped up like a hot dog in the comforter and I was in the other bed with all three boys.
We left the hotel Wednesday morning and had breakfast and were on the road by 10:00 am. The ride to N.C. was pretty smooth considering that we had all three boys locked in their chairs for another 6 hours.
When we arrived at Sugar Mountain, N.C., their was snow all over the ground. Our cabin was amazing, the view was overlooking the bottom of the slope where people practice and take skiing lessons. That evening Gil went snowboarding and the boys and I played in the snow in front of the cabin.
Thursday morning when we hit the slopes with the boys it was snowing pretty heavy. We had Erico and Elkin take private skiing lessons first, Esai went to the daycare to stay out of the falling snow, and while the kids were practicing, Gil and I went skiing/snowboarding together! It was awesome! Then we took Erico and Elkin up the slopes the ski. they did very good for as young as they are and being their first time. In the evening we all went tubing, including Esai!
Needless to say, we all had an amazing time while we were there.
Friday morning we checked out and headed for Florida. But on our way home we stopped at the Mystery Hill House. You can stand at a 45 degree angle in a room and watch a ball and water flow up a hill.
Then we stopped by to visit Lisa and family, Gil's cousin. They bought lunch for us and the kids played and had a great time. After that we stopped at a fireworks superstore and bought some REAL fireworks, not like the ones you get in Florida.
We made it home at around 11:50 p.m. or so and put the kids in bed brought some things inside and set off one firework, then off to dreamland we went...
Please look at the slide show below. I will be posting some video clips soon.
