Asheville, NC

We just got back from a fun weekend spent with our friends in Asheville, NC. My friend Katie's husband sells night vision and scopes at gun shows on the weekends and he had a show to do in Asheville. He asked Cope if he'd like to help him out and Cope said "sure". So Katie and I and our 3 kids (Kaden-4, Ramsey-15 months, and Kendall-8 months) tagged along for a fun weekend getaway. While the guys went do their show during the day we shopped, and went on a few adventures at the Biltmore House. We took the kids to a little petting farm there, we hit the winery for a little tasting, and then today toured a little of the house, and hit some more shops. Ramsey loves Kaden and is completely entertained in his presence. We also did some swimming at the hotel and enjoyed dining out with the whole crew in the evenings. Ramsey is a great little traveler and slept great in his pack n play at night. Katie and I came home earlier today since the show did not get over until 4:00pm we wanted to get the kids on home. You should have seen the two of us with 3 kids in the back. Kendall started crying once and as soon as she did Ramsey started to cry out of sympathy. They were both screaming so we had to pull over to calm them down. We made it back in one piece, thank goodness. All in all it was a great weekend with good friends, good food, and lots of fun!
