Fall Weekend Getaway

Matt surprised me Thursday night with the idea of a weekend getaway. After hours of internet searching and phone calls, we are now in North Carolina (without Ben). Mom and Dad are watching him until tomorrow when we come home, but I am getting more homesick by the minute. Matt says the roads home are best left to daytime hours, so we will be here until tomorrow. It has been very relaxing and very reminiscent of our trip to Colorado with small town life. The lodge where we are staying is very nice...next time we will bring Ben (and sweaters)!

Happy anniversary
I actually wanted to climb up on Blowing Rock and take some pictures but there was a bride and groom getting pictures taken on it...very appropriate for the story, here is a link if you are unfamiliar. www.blowingrock.org/therock.html




The lake in front of our Inn...Matt realizes he should have brought fishing gear :)
Ducks, too

It looks like you guys had a great time! :) Tim and I are thinking of a trip. Which Inn did you stay at? We can't decide between them!

How pretty. I can't wait to show Justin, so we can start planning our anniversary trip. You all look great and so happy!
