Thursday we spent most of the morning visiting then the ladies toured the Koerner's Folly. This is the home of one of Kernersville's founding fathers. It is 3 stories tall but has 7 different levels and 22 rooms including a private theater. Jules Koerner was an architect and designer so his home was a showcase of his ideas to sell his services.
The house had once been a small home connected to a horse barn with long rooms and high ceilings. So he lowered floors and made two rooms out of one. Granted, one room had a really low ceiling but it was for children so who cared.
Later that afternoon we agreed to join the crowd roller skating. I just don't know what we were thinking? Courtney, Kelly and Matt had skated here as kids so they wanted to show off to their spouses. Us older adults were just trying to relive our youth, maybe? We all were a bit wobbly starting out but did better at the end of two hours. The two little ones, Aiden and Alex, needed lots of help but had a good time. Mom and Bernie stayed home to babysit baby Haley.
