Sunday....

Can you believe it? Our last day here and Betsy is burning up with a fever and has a horrid sore throat. Poor thing. She stayed home whilst we went out this morning because she was fatigued and achey....when we got back I looked at her and her face was beet red....and she was burning up. Since then she has been sleeping and I've been giving her tylenol and tea. I just came back downstairs from setting up the tv/dvd player so she could watch some of her movies. I hope she is feeling better tomorrow. Actually, travelling and sleeping all day tomorrow will probably be good for her.

In other news, we went driving around this morning, exploring the city and seeing the sites. We didn't get the 3-6 inches of snow, but the very tops of the mountains did. It looks like God lightly sprinkled powdered sugar over them....it was just beautiful. After dropping my aunt and wee one off at home, John and I decided to go look around for some subdivisions. We went to one that kept climbing and climbing, to the point that our car was almost vertical! We ended up at the top of a mountain with views that could only be described as breathtaking. I told him that if we bought a house up there, the first thing I would do is bake a cake using the high altitude directions!!!! I've always wanted to do that! LOL....

We ordered pizza tonight and are now sitting around the table....John and Connie are playing dominoes, wee one is watching Funniest Home Videos, Betsy is eating toast and drinking tea, and I am writing this entry. It's so nice to just sit, relax, and listen to the family laughing and being together. I just love these trips....

So sorry your little one is sick, but it sounds like a beautiful day anyway.  I've always wanted to see NC in the snow.

I hope that Betsy feels better very soon.  What a bummer to be sick now.  :-(
I've always wondered what it would be like to use the high altitude directions too. LOL  I can't say I would be excited like you...lol
Have a safe trip home!

Having your car almost vertical sounds kind of frightening.  You must have returned safely to do your journal entry so I'm glad of that!  I love your description of the mountains and how "It looks like God lightly sprinkled powderd sugar over them..."  Sorry Betsy is sick.

Your trip sounds so wonderful, except for the part about Betsy being sick.  Poor thing!  I guess it was her "turn".  Ugghh!  I have always wanted to bake a cake with the "high altitude" directions too!  That's so funny!
Hugs and love, Lisa

So sorry about Betsy!  Hope that your traveling goes well, adn recouperates quickly.  I guess her body just isn't used to that colder weather!   Cool that you are having a great time there.  You are near one of my (and my families) favorite spots in the world.  Take care, Cya, Kris
