Off we went on Saturday morning and began our adventure. We stopped and ate at Cracker Barrel as we always do and had a blast. Next off to place flowers on my great grandmothers grave in celebration of Christmas. Next stop...The Christmas Tree Farm!!! Little did we know the adventure that would lie ahead.
As we were driving, we could see the mountain in the distance and Kevin proceeded to say it is coming down like crazy up there! (One little bit of information...it had been snowing since we left my parents house! Just flurries, nothing major!) We continued on our journey and finally reaching our destination. When we got there we could hardly believe that there was so much snow on the ground and it was not stopping!!!
We got out of the car and bundled up...but were not prepared in any way for the bitter cold. Seeing that we are from the beach, we do not own proper attire for bitter cold and snowy days! From the time we stepped out of the truck, Peyton was a wreck. He hated the snow falling in his face and hated being so cold! We managed to help Noni and Popi find the perfect tree and off the the three of us went to get warm while Noni and Popi waited to have it cut down!
This is Peyton miserable in the freezing cold!!
I can only imagine he is thinking just take me inside where it is warm! Bless his heart!
One of the many trees that we found...
As if the bitter cold and snow was not enough, as we were coming down the mountain we ran into a huge traffic jam only to learn they had closed the mountain!! Our 2 hour trip home turned into about a 4 hour trip home!!! Such a nightmare, yet such a wonderful Christmas memory!!
