We're back!
What a week and a half "back in the states!" Let's do this by the numbers...
16 flights
4 states (5 if you count Maryland for our layover in Baltimore)
2 weddings
Countless memories!
I went ahead of Michael to spend some time with my mom. She drove down to Orlando so we could go shopping and enjoy little luxuries like air-conditioning, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks!
Next stop was Waynesville, North Carolina by way of the Asheville Regional Airport. Our friends Parrish and Jonathan had a destination wedding in this adorable mountain town, peppered with lush green golf courses with picturesque backdrops of the Great Smoky Mountains. We had an absolute blast!!! Thanks to Ashley and Gordon for being our traveling companions!
Michael's brother, Matt was kind enough to pick us up in North Carolina and take us to Knoxville, where our friends and family were gathered in Market Square. This was our first time back in 8+ months! I was able to go into work and see all of my colleagues. We even went to lunch together at Aubrey's, our favorite lunch spot.
Michael and I also spent some valuable time with our two beautiful nieces, Avery and Gracen. They are the sweetest things alive!!!
As we visited our way through Knoxville, my sister Whitney made her way to the BVI. She was so kind to take care of Milly while we continued our US adventure! We left our car at the airport for her. While she had been to the BVI for two previous visits, she had never driven...that was probably the toughest part for her! {We'll find out in her exit survey - coming soon!}
Our last stop was Cleveland, Ohio for our friend Richard's wedding. Neither of us had been to Cleveland before and we were pleasantly surprised! We left out of Nashville, on the same flight as our friends Kevin and Lauren who visited the BVI last month! We had an absolute blast!
An alternate title for this post could easily be "Collage Crazy" because apparently, that is what I am! I have just started to organize my photos with Flickr and use Picture2Life to create these collages...still figuring it out.
Congrats to Parrish & Jonathan and Anne & Richard! Thanks to all of our family and friends who made our visit so special. We hope to see you again soon, whether it's here in the BVI or stateside. Love to you all!
