Vacation: Day 1

You haven't heard from me in a while because we've been on vacation. We started off near Moultrie, Georgia, for the wedding of our friends, Dane and Anna. This was especially fun for us because Dean got to perform the ceremony and Tommy was the ring bearer. He was absolutely adorable and made it all the way down the aisle without incident. He even stood quietly near his Uncle Todd (the best man) during the ceremony.




The next morning we left from Gin Creek (which was absolutely incredible, by the way) and headed up to the mountains of North Carolina. Normally, this is roughly a 6 hour drive. But I knew we were headed for trouble when we were on our fourth stop in less than two hours. With two young kids, I guess you have to expect these sort of things. It's been the only time so far that I wished Tommy wasn't potty trained! So after 10 hours of travel, we finally made it to Asheville. We had dinner at McDonalds in Biltmore Village, which was featured on Travel Channel as being one of the nicest McDonalds' in America. There are chandeliers and a grand player piano. Not too shabby!

After that, we headed to the historic McCormick Field to watch the Asheville Tourists play the Rome Braves. The game was lots of fun, but most importantly, the Zooperstars were there. Tommy will be talking about Pee Wee Geese and Cow Ripkin Jr. for years to come.




Come back tomorrow to hear about waterfalls and playing at the park in the mountains. Complete with pictures.
