The day before Thanksgiving, we all went hiking in Red Rock Park.
This awesome park had some pre-Civil War ruins
and tons of trails through the woods leading to a scenic Potomac overlook!
My younger son made his great-grandmother a walking stick,
and my older son helped her up and down steep inclines.
I love seeing my loved ones all together, working as a family should.
After our hike, we ate lunch at Clydes Willow Creek Farm,
in an old barn that was built in 1885.
Once a home for milking cows and horse stalls,
Clydes is now a dining room filled with whimsical weathervanes.
A mermaid weathervane.
and an angel weathervane
We took the tour and saw some crazy bars too,
one with this gigantic golden cricket
(real gold-plated and it's tongue is sticking out! I think there's a story there ...)
and a jockey
and so much more I didn't have time to photograph!
I tried not to think about the creepy figurehead looming over our table as we ate.
She was from a shipwreck off the coast of Nantucket.
Have you ever encountered Whimsical Weathervanes?
If you could have a weathervane on top of your house,
what shape or form would you like it to be?
