Trying to Catch Up...

We've had a lot going on in the last two months or so.... Lots of trips and vacation time!

First, I had the pleasure of visiting my parents in North Carolina, and quickly fell in love with the beautiful community they live in. It was so sad to leave! In the short time I was there we visited the ever-beautiful Biltmore House (an American landmark NOT to be missed!), ventured onto Fort Bragg, where my Dad works, visited with one of my favorite aquaintances (Karen Larsen), hung out with my cute niece, Abby, and so much more! Got some pictures to share:

The Biltmore House, Asheville, NC: contains 250 rooms, 65 fireplaces, and a bowling alley! And for all you primpers, it has a healthy number of bathrooms--62, if I remember correctly!








A huge sunflower field on the Biltmore farm.


My Parents' lovely home!


At the marina just down the road (above and below).





Nice golf course, eh? Just a little farther down the road from the marina.
Nate can't wait to set foot on this course.


Hanging out at the swimming pool. Abby is quite the water baby!



This is my favorite picture. Dad and Abby did lots of canonballs and lots of diving.



Caught my dad working so diligently....




and quickly interrupted for this photo op and then LUNCH!


I had an incredible time, thanks to my mom and dad. Can't wait to visit again!
