Since Christmas was going to be a little different with my family this year, we decided to do something completely different and go to the Homestead in VA after opening gifts. We have always wanted to see the huge spectacle of Christmas at the Homestead anyway, so we decided to go. We had an awesome time, and it was definitely a holiday to remember. Also, I had to get a little cold weather and snow in before I go to sunny FL.
In front of the MASSIVE Christmas tree in the foyer. The tree was 25 feet tall, 18 feet wide, and they said is a 25 year old tree from North Carolina that cost $3,000.00. I mean seriously… three thousand dollars for a tree!!!!
Holiday hay ride.
Since there are so many lights up at the Homestead, they offer a holiday lights hay ride where you ride to the top of the mountain and make s’mores at the ski lodge. We all had to laugh because there was a very very wealthy couple on our hay ride. The lady was a bit of a princess. So, she decided to go on a HAY RIDE with winter white pants, a long wool white coat, a white scarf, and heels. Well the princess also decided that she wanted the “best seat in the house” and needed to get on the wagon first. She seemed to think that the best seat was right up in the front of the wagon where the tractor pulling you blows exhaust all over you pretty expensive outfit. Jason and I got such a kick out of that. She had her scarf over her face and was whining the entire trip, to her husband. Apparently money can’t buy brains…
The Homestead done as a gingerbread village.
More awesome Christmas trees.
