More Holiday Fun with Dad!







When back in Raleigh, we went with Dad to McCormick & Schmick's & the Angus Barn, two great Raleigh restaurant locations! Dad & I also went to the annual Duke Chapel Choir Messiah concert at the Duke Chapel. He helped us out so much around the house that we had to have some evening fun!

Asheville with Dad!











Dad was here for almost 2 weeks! One of our adventures took us to Asheville, NC. We ate the best BBQ in NC at 12 Bones, a regular stop by many famous, infamous, and folks like us. We also went to the Candlelight Evening Show at the Biltmore, an amazing stop that I definitely recommend to all! And lastly, we were at the historical Grove Park Inn, nestles in the southern part of the Blue Ridge Mountains! It was a great trip!

Oakley's Christmas Gift to Us



Oakley went out on the prowl one night, and decided to bring back to his horrified parents a dead mole. Hopefully, Baby Barnes has much better taste and tact!
