FAVORITES
What are your favorite things to do, eat, or where you like to spend time with family and friends?
Our favorite meal to have together is Spaghetti. Our favorite thing to do is to go to the park on a Sunday afternoon. Sundays are our family days, that's usually always the one day that we have off together so we like to dedicate it to getting outside and enjoying every minute that we can with each other.
Restaurants/Food Markets/Food Types/Family Dinner?
Whole Foods is our favorite Food Market. Our favorite restaurant is Johnny B's in Winston-Salem.
What do you like to do for fun or to relax?
For fun, we just like to get outdoors. Wally loves to workout for fun. Iris loves to read for fun. Gabriel has picked up the niche for reading. He has read over 50 books in the last year (without a parent/teacher asking him to do so).
Favorite Vacation Destination or family trip?
Our favorite family trip is Disney World!!! Our second favorite is the beach.
COMMUNITY
What is your favorite part about living in the neighborhood?
Our favorite part about living in the neighborhood is that it is an established neighborhood with families/residents of all ages and backgrounds. We love how well-kept and close knit the neighborhood is. Oh, and cannot forget the parks. We love that there are several places for the kids to get out and play within our very own neighborhood. It gives that extra level of peace to not have to worry about hopping in the car to go to do something as simple as playing at the playground. We enjoy our walks to and from the playground with the kids.
What would you tell someone who just moved into the neighborhood?
First, welcome!!! You and your family are going to really enjoy being part of such an amazing community!
