Over the past few years, we have been working on our porch. In this post, you will learn how to install simulated stone.
We used Hermitage simulated stone manufactured by Horizon Stone. We love this simulated stone because it looks like real stone because of variation; there are so many different shapes. We purchased this from Jenkins Brick in Pellham, Alabama. We also used Argos Custom Blended Masonry Cement; the color is Savannah Ivory.

Background:
We wanted to surprise two very special girls with a trip to Universal Studios in Orlando. Our son Ryan’s partner is Bekah; she has two precious girls (Ocean and Luna) whom we love very much!
Instead of just telling them we are going to Universal Studios, we wanted to make telling them a memorable experience (as well as the trip itself). Hence, we decided to create a Harry Potter Scavenger Hunt to reveal our trip.
You can do this for birthday parties, rainy days, Harry Potter weekend movie marathons, or any occasion which would warrant a Harry Potter scavenger hunt.
