What do You Buy a Nine Year Old Boy for His Birthday??? Here are a few ideas.

-

My grandson is turning nine this week.  It is amazing how time has flown by.  Just what do you buy a nine-year-old for his birthday?  Caleb has outgrown the dinosaur phase and the dragon phase.  I know he likes Mindcraft.  Basically, I was clueless so I asked my daughter for a list so I could make a choice of something he would like. 
Here is what was on the list....
The first thing that I knew he wanted but it did not make the list because his father said "no" was the Nintendo Switch.  Let's look for fun and see if it is on Amazon.  I looked it up and yes Amazon does have it but it is pricey so I am glad it did not make the list:-)
(FYI: I am an Amazon Affiliate so if you click on any of the links below and buy anything on Amazon I get a percent of the sale with no extra cost to you.  Happy Day)


                                              
I won't be getting him the Nintendo Switch.  Let's take a look at what made the list.


                                            


                                                   

                                              

                                            
The list goes on and on so I decided to share only a few items.  So what did I get him?  I got him something that I had a version of in the past... A Retro Camera.

                                                 
Which gift would you choose?
Caleb's party is this weekend.  I can't wait to see what else he gets.  
Happy Birthday, Caleb.  You have grown into an amazing person.

Travel Blast From the Past-Linville Falls Winery in the Mountains of NC

This blast from the past was written back in 2016.  Wow, where does the time go?  I checked to make sure it is still open, and it is. Happy day! Linville Falls Winery After our somewhat strenuous hike down to the lower falls of Linville Gorge, Erica and I decided to reward ourselves with a visit to a local Winery,  Linville Falls Winery  All the way up the Gorge Trail on this somewhat warm fall day, we kept encouraging ourselves with the promise of wine and relaxation.  And it was just as we imagined...wonderful:-) Here is a description from their website. "Family owned and operated, Linville Falls Winery is the culmination of a life-long passion for wine by owner, Jack Wiseman. Wiseman has dreamed of growing grapes and opening a winery for more than 25 years, and now he and his family are pioneering a new High Country wine in Linville, North Carolina. Nestled in the lower end of Avery County near the Blue Ridge Parkway is a state of the art tasting room...

Places-Hiking A Linville Falls Trail in North Carolina.

I honestly can't tell you the name of the trail that Erica and took on our hike.  You go to the Linville Falls Visitors Center,  turn left, and take the path down.  After doing a bit of research, I think it is the Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail.  It is a more challenging trail then the hike to the right of the visitor center, although that one is lovely. I have done this hike a couple of times.  Always fun.  Just in case it is Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail here is some info on that hike found on  Asheville Trails Linville Falls Plunge Basin Trail "The hike departs from the Linville Falls visitor center, located off the Blue Ridge Parkway at MP 316 ( view maps and driving directions ), hanging a left in front of the visitor center. The trail splits almost immediately at a signed junction: the Dugger Falls Trail veers left, and the Plunge Basin Overlook and Gorge Floor Trail turns right. The hike follows signs to the overlook, trailing e...

A Visit to Burntshirt Vineyards in Hendersonville NC

My visit to Bruntshirt Vineyard was several years ago.  I visited the one in Hendrsonville, NC; there is also a bistro and tasting room in Chimney Rock, NC.  I was just on their site to make sure it is still open during this Covid Pandemic, and it is.  Both sites are open and hosting events.  I wish they were closer to Cary, NC; if they were, I would visit today.  Let's go back to the past and visit Burntshirt Vineyards... It was the final day of my mini-vacation.  I had climbed the stairs to the top of Chimney Rock, I had pontooned beautiful Lake Lure, and I had stayed at the lovely Esmeralda Inn.  Anytime I take a trip, I do my best to visit a local winery, and I had been remiss in my tradition on this trip.   I could just go home, but that would be crazy if there were a local winery to explore. Well, as luck would have it, not far off my journey, there was a winery. I consulted Google and plotted my course to Burntshirt Vineyards in Hendersonv...
