Birthday Bliss

Well I am officially in my thirties! With another baby on the way and our 10th anniversary on the horizon, Jeff took me to a charming old Bed and Breakfast built at the turn of last century. We enjoyed 3 days of rest and relaxation, while grandma and grandpa took care of the little ones. We often joked this weekend that we switched places with my parents, living their life of leisure while they enjoyed our organized chaos.
Jeff and I ate dinner out every night and, of course, had a gourmet breakfast every morning. We spent Saturday touring the grounds of Biltmore Estate, which was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of strolling through the gardens and wandering the halls of the impressive home. Sunday morning we walked the streets of Asheville's Proximity Park, a neighborhood of homes built in the early 1900's. And then finally, Sunday afternoon, we headed home to return to reality. While our vacation was great and the kids had a fabulous time with grandma and grandpa, we are all happy to get back into our regular routine.
Me at 30.
