We went up to the Grove Park Inn again this year to see the gingerbread houses. Somehow, in the two years that we've gone, we've managed to pick a rainy day both times.
A family picture where everyone is looking at the camera! We should've gotten that woman's phone number.
We looked at a few gingerbread houses, and then decided to head for lunch. They've got a huge dining room that's about 6 floors up, and looks out at the Blue Ridge mountains. Still a nice view, despite the rain.
Our waitress mentioned that there were gingerbread cookies in the dessert buffet, but we couldn't find them. Someone on the wait staff overheard Julie asking me where the gingerbread men were, and said they might have some in the back. He didn't come back, so we gave up. A few minutes later, he showed up at our table with the gingerbread man. And then we had to send him back for two more. Our waitress also sent us home with 3 gingerbread men. It's that kind of hotel. You know, the one we couldn't actually stay at...
Emma went right for the head.
So happy to have her gingerbread man.

They really weren't as interested in the gingerbread houses this year. They acted like they were in a hurry, and we mostly just walked by them all. The rocking chairs were a big draw again, though.
If you look, you can sort of see my reflection in the big silver ball.
They wanted me to take their picture.
