Long Weekend Getaway

Man I love to take road trips!! I love them when they involve a long weekend and time with my family! Mom asked me last week if I had any plans for the holiday weekend and I said that the girls wanted to go to Athens for opening weekend of Georgia football, but I was open to whatever. So at the last minute we decided to take a road trip to see my sister up in Wake Forest, NC. It also helped that the Dawgs will be in town next weekend too, so I can cheer them in then!!

Let me tell you from the moment the girls wake up, they are on speed 900!!!! I just love when we arrive late and with hopes of sleep in, I am awaken by the sweetest baby in the world pulling at my blinders cause she wants to play!!! It doesn't get much better than that!
Steph and I were able to do some fun shopping at the mall while the girls took a nap, which I am ALWAYS up for! I am so ready for fall to get here tho, so I can get more new clothes!!! Sunday was a great day for resting and playing! Here is Abby when she and I were playing chase...now that she can crawl we can have more fun!!! The closest camera was my phone so I turned on my light to get a better pic, so that's what the funny face is for, but it's too cute!!

On Monday, all the girls decided to head out to Pullin Park to have a picnic and hang out before we hit the road home! Larry wasn't able to go cause he had to work...sad! This was my first time there and for those of you who do not know what it is, this is the park when they shot the opening scene of the Andy Griffith Show...You know the lake shot with their fishing polls?!?!?! I know you are whistling the song now!!!!
This is such a neat park. We were able to have a picnic by the lake, ride the carousel, take a train ride and ride on the water boats. As you can see Bella also made the trip. She and the girls are big play buddies! This is a great picture of all the "girls".


Here is Anna Kate and I on the train....it was so neat to be on there cause its been forever since I was on one and to share it with these precious girls. We were also able to see some of the N.C. State campus while on riding!

It was such a great weekend and I hated having to come home, but another busy work week is already in progress! I'll see them in a few weeks for Abby's 1st birthday! I can't wait because I already miss them! But till then, I have some pretty fun things going on! Hope everyone had a great three day weekend!
