Last week, we went to the mountains to pick out a Christmas tree. One of my favorite Christmas traditions. So, after arriving at the tree farm of our choice, we rode up to the trees via hayride.
Crazy family facial expressions.
And even though it was quite chilly, we had to tough it out to find the perfect Christmas tree.
And we finally found one, (see below) !
David was fascinated by this truck. This is the kind of thing you only see in the (US) South.
Then we stopped by the Mast General Store. Love the vintage signs.
and all the candy!!!
Fun fact: A few weeks ago, President Obama stopped in this very store!
The chocolate section of course.
This shirt describes me pretty well. hahaha
Have you ever tried a Moon Pie? I'm sure it's just a southern thing, maybe just in NC? We used to eat them a lot growning up. So we got one for David to try :)
