Come Fly with Me: NC and Iowa trip

Today it is my honor to host this fine event with  Easy Rider.  This idea was Easy's brain child.
I thank Easy and Staff for asking me to co-host with them.

Ready, set......




Sammy we are gonna start our magical trip at my house.  I heard you like to watch trains...
well you are gonna love riding on one twice as much.
I'll be over here I think I smell some N I P or perhaps a Chrissymas Mouse!!

Sammy my dear friend.  I read all about your love of Christmas.  
So today I would like to take you on a magical trip to one of my peeps favorite places to 
visit at Christmas, Grove Park Inn, Asheville, NC


We are going to have breakfast in the lovely Blue Ridge Room overlooking the
mountains.  I called ahead to tell them you are King of Baconia...they promised to have
lots of crispy bacon waiting for you.  This delightful group
insisted on a photo shoot and a Ginger ManCat polydactyl autograph.

There are tons of  beautiful Christmas trees
This is the Dr. Seuss theme Tree it is a favorite of Blogville.

Lucky us to stumble upon the Ginger Bread House judging and you were given a seat of honor my Santa Paws..




After a busy day of fun, food and frolicking, we are relaxing by the fire to enjoy very lovely
Christmas memories and magic


Sammy thank you for taking this magical trip with me. It was
lovely to share the time with you.   
PS not matter what you mom says you DO NOT
SNORE!!
Love and hugs and tons of kitty kisses Madi your bfff here, now and ever after!!!!

  26. Your landmark is so much more elegant for Sammy's visit than ours, but since cats enjoy a good clubhouse inhabited by spiders and bugs, we're glad Rusty thought of it. We're sure your tour was fun.
