Mom got here the weekend after the "big" snowstorm and by the end of the week it was 80 degrees. We headed to Pilot Mountain first where Anna had fun finding puddles from the melting snow. This mountain is much different than the ones we're used to, but it's still beautiful.
I miss Mayberry
I bet you didn't know that the real Mayberry is just a few miles from us. Yup. Andy Griffith's real hometown with Aunt Bea, Opie and whistlin and fishin. The real name of the city is Mt. Airy. And it was quite charming. We strolled down main street, talked to the nice old men sittin on the street, and stopped in for a shake at the malt shop. Anna had to let every know she wasn't a small town girl, so she wore her red heart sunglasses around and everyone called her Hollywood.

And we couldn't miss out on this photo op. Wally's Service Station. These are for you Dad...
I really think that my dad would buy this truck if it were for sale.
The next day we went to Tanglewood Park and let Anna run around the playground and watch the ducks on the lake. We were all excited to be out in the sunshine on a beautiful day.
Anna loved having Grandma G here to play with and have somebody else to push her on the swing. Still her favorite outside activity.
Another good thing about Grandma G coming is that she always takes a lot of pictures. And then I get some cute ones like this of Anna just doing her regular silly stuff that I always forget to take pictures of.

What cute pictures! I love Anna in her pigtails! You and your mom look so much alike in that last photo!
It sounds like you guys are really enjoying visiting different areas in your region. You are the best travellers!
What a fun time. And so lucky that Gaylynne does have those wonderful flight benefits to come visit often.
It is so fun to see what a wonderful place you guys live in, and we sure hope to come visit! And of course are so excited to see you guys this summer!!! Anna is adorable, and growing up so fast. I know I didn't know you as a little girl Ashely, but I swear she is a mini you.
Looks like fun! I hope we can make it out to N. Carolina soon. We love Anna's pigtails, Caroline pointed them out immediately!
Look at your little lady! She's so big. I'm jealous you had a malt in Mayberry. That was my dad's favorite show and I think I've seen every episode.
