THE CABIN!


This will probably be the FIRST of a THOUSAND posts about trips to "the cabin!" My parents recently bought a new cabin in Blue Ridge, GA - which is just about an hour and fifteen minutes from our house! Over the past few months we've been trying to get it "READY" so that we could actually stay the night... appliances, furniture, gas hooked up ... and a few live-in friends out from under the cap on the roof! WE DID IT ... still a few more things needed - but it was ready enough! The mountains of Blue Ridge are beautiful ... and we are thrilled for all of the memories that this little place will bring! We kicked off the weekend with a trip to the strawberry fields at Mercier Orchards! The boys HAD to jump up on the train ... that we hope to ride in a few weekends ... and the other pictures are the only pictures I snapped AT the cabin ... more coming!
The creek is just RIGHT down the hill ... can't wait to campout on the porch and listen to the rushing water!

Wow - that place looks awesome! How nice that it's close enough to get there quickly, but far away enough to feel like you're on vacation. The strawberry pickin' looks cool - that pic of Benjamin and his big bucket of berries made my mouth water just a little bit.

Oh, and I love the new 'do! You're one of those rare and lucky gals that can pull off short or long hair. You look totally cute!

I love all your pics! You do a much more thorough job documenting all the fun stuff that your cute family has been doing! Strawberry picking sounds like a lot of fun, as does the cabin-- Glad you guys have a new retreat that isn't too far but far enough! And you know I love your new hair.. it's not easy to pull off short hair when you've got natural curls, but yours looks so cute!
