Western North Carolina

Over the weekend we decided to venture to the western part of the state. We started driving to Pilot Mountain. We tried to make it to the highest spot you could drive to, but apparently everyone else had the same idea. We waited for a half hour and didn't move anywhere in the line. So we decided to turn around and drive to Mt Airy. Mt Airy, is where the Andy Griffith show was filmed. It is definately a small town! Next, we decided to take a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a beautiful drive, and the tree covered roads with lookouts over the mountains could not have been more perfect. It was a beautiful drive and Ryan and I were able to have great conversation about our decisions the next few months. It was time well spent with my boys!

Other Labor Day weekend adventures included a BBQ with the Foley's; playing Monopoly with the Foley's and Moore's; watching a lot of football; BBQ with the Foley's, Moore's, and Christine Leaf; and playing with Nolan. It was a great weekend!

My personal favorite is the photo where Nolan and I are standing on the lawn and it he is smiling more than I am! Taking after his mom already...
