Family Vacation to Bryson City, NC

We met my family in the mountains for a long weekend in Bryson City, NC. It was perfect! We went hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains and saw three waterfalls. We went kayaking in Lake Fontana. And the majority of the group went rafting down the Nantahala River! Be sure to check out www.paddlefishkayaking.com www.americanhikes.com www.wildwaterltd.com and Jacob's boss has just started a brewery up there called Nantahala Brewing Company! Thanks Joe for helping us with all of our activities! Its an awesome place to getaway, especially for the fall! Lawton had a great time playing with my cousins and we can't wait to get back up there this November!

July 4th Weekend

My parents came to Charleston for a long weekend of fun! We went to the beach, cooked out, shot off fireworks, went to the pool and the aquarium. Lawton once again had a blast playing with Grandma and Papa. It took Lawton about 30 minutes to warm up to the fireworks, he said "they are noisy" so we took him inside to watch and he was saying "hooray Papa, hooray Daddy, more rockets, more colors, more fireworks!!!" It was really cute. And our front room is officially a study. We need to touch up the paint on the french doors and put the trimming in place!
