I had done a little research on the Internet and picked Sugar Plum Farms in Plumtree, NC to be our 2012 tree destination! We've cut one live tree from a tree farm before in 2008 but were not impressed with it at all. So, 2.5 hours later, we arrived to a HUGE tree farm, complete with tractor hay rides, hot chocolate and a fire pit! Awesome!!!
We had some hot chocolate and played around with the trains while we waited for the tractor to come back and give us a hay ride to the top of the mountain so we could start our search! The view from the top of the mountain was absolutely amazing - too bad the driver didn't stop long enough to let me get a picture! He let us off at a spot with trees in about the height range we were looking and we went to it! The kids loved going through the trees as if they were a maze and we actually had a hard time keeping up with them(I did not wear the right shoes at all and M was carrying a saw so we were both a little slow!). They had a blast!! And we found our perfect tree!:)
Next year we will definitely go to a tree farm again and chop down a tree, but will make it an entire day trip rather than a half day trip so that was can stay around and enjoy everything just a little longer!
