Every year we take the kids to the Carl Sandburg House in Flat Rock, NC. We started the tradition with Jacob and have many wonderful memories. We have taken a long hike from one of the trails, had picnics with extended family, fed the fish, and played with the goats. You can go out and read all about the house on website http://www.nps.gov/carl/index.htm. Every visit we take the best pictures of the kids. One year Ashley was in a really cute tropical dress feeding the goats. She noticed little pebbles falling from the goats back in. Well, she decided that they needed to go back in so she picked up a handful of little rocks and followed the goat around. I question Ashley about what she was doing. She said "I need to put the rocks back in mommy the goat is dropping them everywhere". We also like to visit several of the parks in Asheville, NC area where we lived for almost seven years. We lived in Etowah, NC for three years and Arden, NC for four years. The Asheville area is a wonderful place to entertain your children. We hike, kayak on the Green River, canoed on the French Broad, and listened to outdoor concerts in Hendersonville. A few other places to visit is Lake Julian, Sliding Rock, and Dupont State Park http://www.dupontforest.com/. Also, the best place for ice cream is Dolly's near the Pisgah National Forest in Brevard, NC. They have rocking chairs on the front porch and some of the most awesome ice cream. There are some of the best summer camps for kids in that area too. Camp High Rocks, Camp Carolina, and Camp Illahee.
