Vacation....Take 1




Well, we just got back from our first of three summer vacations. We went with the Ward's to Weaverville, NC. It is a small town about 20 miles north of Asheville, NC. We stayed in a cabin that was literally off the side of a mountain. It was pet friendly so Tuggles came too!!! The cabin was about 6 miles off the Blue Ridge Parkway!! Unfourtantely I didn't get any pics of the cabin. I will have to wait until Alice sends them to me. We had such a nice time!!!! It was a nice celebration of Alice's retirement and Brad's 30th birthday!!!!! We enjoyed hiking to Linville Falls, walking around a little neighborhood park we located, shopping in dowtown Asheville, relaxing and napping, checking out local restaurants and my favorite the Grove Park Inn Spa!!!!!! Alice and I went there all day Thursday. We had massages, pedicures with champange and chocolates and facials. It is one of the countires best spas and I must say it was heavenly!!!!! I have never been somewhere so nice!!!!! I am not sure how I can go to any other spa now that I have experienced the Grove Park Inn Spa!!!!! It was such a special treat!!!!! Kylee did so well with the traveling and with sleeping at a strange place until she became sick. She started to not feel good on Weds and then got progressively worse. We took her to see her doctor on Sat and she has a double ear infection and an upper respiratory infection. Poor baby!!!!!!! She is on antibiotics and we are already seeing an improvement, though she is still not herself!!!!!



Here are some pics of our wonderful vacation.......
Kylee is ready to go!!!
