Vacation Part 1 - North Carolina

Our vacation began with a great day of travel with no baby drama. Yeah, no contractions or uncomfortable feelings.
Chad checking his email in between flights.


Once we landed our first stop was to eat at Chick fil A! #1 with diet lemonade...Delicious!
We made our way to the mountains of North Carolina to Chad's parents house. Summer had some presents waiting for her...

Saturday was a beautiful day and we did my favorite activity...relaxing in the sun!


Chad and his dad did some "manly" tasks like removing beehives off the roofline, picking up trash out of the river and dislocating a big log so that it can float down the river.



We made the Martin Meal for dinner and they hosted a surprise birthday dinner for me with a chocolate cake (decorated with the same flowers as Summer's room-how perfect). There was chocolate cake, candles, gifts and GREAT company! Thanks to the Martins for making it a special moment for me!



We drove around and looked at real estate today seeing a gorgeous property with a soothing creek that sounded like a serenity spa. It kinda put Summer's "sleep sheep" to shame.



I am stuffed with BBQ and about to have a piece of leftover birthday cake to completely fall into a coma state. However, I wanted to let those who cared know what we've been up to!
Stay tuned for more of our NC vacation.

Sis,

It looks like yall are having fun. I have tried to explain to Jen how nice it is at The Martins with the river right there in the back yard. Can you take a pic that shows the back of the house and the river. I love their place. So peaceful of a place just to enjoy God's creation.

Now on to the new place that yall went to see. What is the landscape like? Pature, hardwoods, pines, creeks, ponds? Need a little more info. How about the wildlife? You see anything wandering around on this property?

Love yall so much and it looks like Summer is growing

Were you able to get tri-tip in NC? What did you use? I can't find it here but wanted to do something like it. I thought about just looking for the bottom sirloin. Happy Birthday Week to you.
