North Carolina - Tweetsie Railroad

We just got home from a 2 week vacation to North Carolina, to visit Nana and Papa. Daddy was able to join us for week one, while the kids and I stayed for an additional week.

Our first stop was Tweetsie Railroad, a kiddo theme park, designed around an old coal train. We did a countdown until our trip to NC for almost 3 weeks! And each day I asked Brookston what we were counting down until, he said to visit Nana and Papa and to go on the train. He was SO excited about the train. When we first arrived he was so eager to get on, he sat down so excited, all smiles...until the whistle blew...then it was all over. He is very sensitive to loud noises and that ruined it for him, he hid in Nana's lap, covering his ears then entire ride.

Luckily there was plenty more to do and he had a blast with everything else!
