I've spent the past week and a half visiting family and friends in Charlotte and making some fun side trips to Boone, Yadkin Valley and DC...who would've thought you could fit all three within a week and a half?!?
As usual it's never enough time to visit with everyone, but I got to spend Mother's Day with my mom and attend my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary shindig (60 YEARS!!!).
My trip started off with no less than a redeye flight and then landing on Cinco de Mayo...my sisters and I take this very seriously as I consider us Mexican food connoisseurs (yes, there is such a thing!) and our lovely meal was rounded out with my oldest nephew getting locked in the bathroom at the restaurant...if you've never seen three adults trying to break a bathroom door down, well then, you're really missing out :)
The next day I drove my mom and I to DC for her Mother's Day gift...we pretty much walked all over DC, saw all the monuments, visited Arlington National Cemetery and went on a fun, cheesy tourist bus ride in, oh, about 24 hours...because that's how we roll!
First stop: the white house!
The next day was my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary dinner...my sister took this photo for us. Aren't they so cute?!
Benjamin and I goofing around during dinner...thanks Heidi for the picture :)
Then we went to Jackson's baseball game...I love that he's playing shortstop! :)
In action!
Addison being a super cute supportive younger sister at Jackson's game :)
Me and Benjamin :)
Benj was not too thrilled with me when I caught him flirting underneath the bleachers...
On Mother's Day, my parents and I went wine tasting in the Yadkin Valley of North Carolina...last year I went wine tasting in NC with my mom and we had a great time so we decided to try out some new tasting rooms this time. This is at Laurel Gray Vineyards...
This is at Raffaldini Vineyards...
Raffaldini is a gorgeous location for weddings :)
Vineyards at Shadow Spings...this is the last place we visited before heading to Boone to eat at the Dan'l Boone Inn...
My dad and I...still sporting my DC sunburn...whoops!
Happy Mother's Day!
Visiting with Molly on my way to the airport... :)
In other random news, Mike and I will have our 2 year anniversary one month from today--yeah baby!! Have a great weekend everyone!
