Asheville

We love a good weekend day trip destination.  Last Saturday we went to Asheville, North Carolina and had a great time.  Our dear friends the Crawford family were vacationing at the gorgeous, giant Grove Park Inn and it was the perfect reason to make the short two hour journey north.

After lunch we played a leisurely round of miniature golf.  Luke and Caroline napped in their strollers, but Kate and Ellie were intent on mastering the course.

Sweet girls

After miniature golf there was still time for a visit to a playground and ice cream for everyone.  We all agreed Asheville might be more fun to explore without kids in tow, but at this current stage in life, family days are what we are all about and it was wonderful to see our friends again.

This past weekend we stayed around the house, enjoying the sunny days with low humidity and relaxing on the patio.

Ahh... this is the life, especially because not pictured is me reading a book next to him, the perfect lazy Sunday

Someone has started eating baby food, with great enthusiasm, a surprise to no one.

Our weekdays are busy, our nights are noisy, but our weekends are so very sweet right now.
