Blowing Rock

I have very fond childhood memories of going to downtown Blowing Rock during family vacations to the mountains.  We would walk around, pop into the different shops, get ice cream and apple cider, and visit the playground.  I hope Arlo enjoys making those same memories! 

Arlo "at the helm".


The playground has come a long way since my childhood. They have several sections now for older and younger kids.  TONS of swings, several slides, basketball and tennis courts, climbing structures, and more!  All in the midst of quaint (albeit touristy) little downtown Blowing Rock! 














After the playground, we popped in to Kojak's Coffeehouse for some delicious hot apple cider.  (Just water for the munchkin, though.)


Yum!


After some walking around town, we had to stop at Kilwin's for some delicious fudge (toasted coconut and chocolate - to die for!) and some ice cream.  Arlo sampled the peach yogurt.


Peachy!
