Spring Break get-away



 For the last few days of Carter's Spring Break, we decided to go to Dillsboro/Bryson City, North Carolina to ride the Great Smokey Mountain Train and do some fun activities with the Charlie Brown characters.
 Carter really wanted to play mini golf, so we found a place the night that we got there to have a round of golf.
Abby just ran around hitting the ball. 
In the Cherokee hotel, there was a Paula Deen Kitchen and that was where I decided we would have dinner.  The food was great and Carter and Abby loved going there.  Not sure, if they had heard me talk about Paula Deen or what, but it was fun.
Since Cherokee, NC has an Indian Reservation, there were several of these bears around the town and Carter was amazed by them. 
We got up and drove to Bryson City the next morning, where the train was departing from. 



It was a little chilly in the open cars, but it was a beautiful ride to Dillsboro.  We were on the train about an hour.
The Easter Bunnies visited us on the train.  Abby was not so excited about this.

They had several activities in Dillsboro, where we had a 2 hour layover.  Here with are with Snoopy.  Abby was not thrilled.

Back in Bryson City, there was a toy train museum.  The kids loved it.
