Mountain Weekend

It was a fun change of scenery to head West towards the mountains this weekend. Brian's friend, Timmy, got married in Cashiers, NC, at this charming mountain inn. We dropped Collins off in Hickory for a weekend with Mimi and Baba, and then headed up the mountain.

This place reminded me of a cross between "Dirty Dancing" and summer camp. It was awesome! We stayed in a cabin, spent the day hiking and canoeing, and then had a great time at the wedding. Another cool thing is the property has this enormous dahlia garden where they invite you to pick your own flowers. On the way home, we passed through Arden which is where I used to go to summer camp and Brian humored me with a quick tour through Lutheridge (which is still awesome by the way).



 
 


As predicted, Collins barely noticed our return because she was too busy having fun with Mom and Baba. They spent the weekend playing at the park, going to get ice cream, pushing around the babies in the stroller, watering the flowers on the deck, and practicing on the potty (Baba bought Collins a princess potty!).
 


 
Poppy and Nana surprised Collins with a new toy...how fun is this?


After a tasty dinner, we hopped back on the road for the long drive back. It was a lot of time in the car this weekend, but it was worth it because we all had a great time!
