Trip to West Virginia

This past weekend we went to WV to visit Alexander.  It was his 5th birthday.   His party was at Brookdale Farms.  It was a very nice place for small children with a very nice play area.  Even though it was a very windy day we had a nice time.

They had a corn maze for the kids which was nice.

The kids really liked the barn with the small animals that they could pet.

All the kids had a really nice time.

We headed home early Sunday morning.  On the way home we stopped at Wilber's Barbecue http://www.wilbersbarbecue.com/.  As soon as you pulled up in front of the restaurant you could smell the barbecue out back in the large smokers they were cooking it in. This is a famous barbecue place in Goldsboro NC where they let you know that George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton have eaten there.  We had a combo of pork barbecue and chicken.  I get nervous when it's a vinegar based barbecue and not the ketchup base that I'm use to at home.   I was pleasantly surprised with the vinegar not being to overpowering.  It also had a good smoke flavor. 

I was looking forward to seeing the fall leaves on the trees but they had only started changing.  I guess with the warmer weather they are changing later this year.  It was a great weekend with Greg getting to see all the grand-kids.  He does not get to see them as much as I do and has not seen them for several months.  They were very happy to see him.  We did miss the Chili festival, maybe we'll get there next year.   Till next time...

Love,

Jennifer
