John's Birthday

For John's birthday, we were able to spend a little time in Boone, NC where I finished school, where we spent our dating relationship and where we got married. My dad very generously let us use some of his hotel points for a free nights stay there and my parents kept Caleb and Annelise for us. What would we do without parents? We had a very nice meal at one of our favorite restaurants, thanks to John's parents, and really enjoyed our time there. It was very strange for me to be without the kids, but I felt so free. It was very odd. While in Boone, we visited several of our favorite spots and took a drive on the parkway. It was characteristically rainy and foggy for the time of year, but it cleared out on Saturday for our last few hours before we headed back for the kids. Here are some photos from our fun trip. John had a wonderful 30th birthday.
