Fall Vacation

The week of Oct. 20th – 27th, we took a much anticipated vacation.

On Friday, we drove to Florence via Birmingham. We had a fun time at lunch with Aunt Peggy and her friends Sue & Charles.


Then it was on to Florence where we got to spend the evening with Daniel, Abbe, Jonah, and their new baby Maddie. It was great to meet Maddie. She’s so tiny!!

Jonah kept Maggie entertained and as you can see, they got along quite well.

Saturday morning, we each had lunch with friends, and then we attended the wedding of Sandra, one of our dear friends from Ben’s work in Florence. That night we had a nice dinner with some of our Woodmont friends and then gave Maggie some chill time (which we ALL needed!). Sunday, we attended church and had lunch at Woodmont, and then it was off to Grammy & Grumpa’s house.

The weather at Grammy & Grumpa’s was wonderful! The highs were in the 50s and the lows in the 20s and 30s; perfect fall weather! The color was past peak, but there were still a lot of leaves. We spent Tuesday riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking at Deep Creek.






There was ice in several places on the Parkway, and we saw some beautiful waterfalls at Deep Creek. Wednesday we spent relaxing and then we got to have a nice dinner out sans Maggie! All in all, it was a great week, we just wish it had lasted longer!
