The Helms family (Charlie, Katie & Sweet Arlo) invited us up to Linville for Memorial Day Weekend. At first, I wasn't sure a trip was a good idea, since traveling with 2 kiddos can sometimes be more trouble than it's worth (especially if said kiddos refuse to sleep!). Plus, transitioning to my new job has been stressful and I've been craving some relaxation time, which for me typically equates with lounging on the couch and reading. Thankfully, a weekend in the mountains with good friends proved to be the perfect remedy. The weather was gorgeous and the kids were fantastic (the 3 dogs were good too!). Luci and Arlo were the best of pals (I even possess some fabulous bath photos which I'll be sure to dredge up to embarrass them when they are older) and Ruby was as sweet as pie. We enjoyed hanging lakeside, riverside and mountainside! The Helms are such wonderful hosts and incredible friends, we feel very lucky to have them in our lives and look forward to the next trip to Linville.
