Mike and Lori Hughes, our part-time neighbors in CB, don't have children of their own and absolutely love our boys, so a while back we started making plans to visit them around Christmas in their full-time hometown Denton, NC and go to the famous Country Christmas Train! So mid-December, we finally made it and, per usual, they were so sweet to us - hosting our crazy clan in their home, pulling strings to get the boys in the engine of the train, giving everyone nice gifts, feeding us and more. We're so fortunate to know such kind people! And, wow, the Country Christmas Train was like the Tweetsie Railroad I grew up with in Blowing Rock, but not cheesy at all. Just really cool!
