Just Some Miscellany

Here are some random moments from vacation....

There are times when the phone just isn't reliable for weather. Please note the forecast on the phone....and the weather outside the window.

We had a couple of ice cream treats along the way! In this one we were huddled under a ginormous umbrella in the 2 tiny dry seats following the above "mostly sunny" rainstorm.

So one morning, I opened the hotel door to find a USA Today outside in the hallway. Not being a big fan of news reading, I tossed it on Lynnette's bed, and she read it while she ate breakfast. I heard her say, "Marion, Indiana??" I said, "Oh great. Did someone get shot?" Turns out...not so much....just an update on the 4H fair. Seriously? I go five states away and the 4H fair follows me????

We may or may not have done a little shopping while we were gone. :) Among our stops....A FARMER'S MARKET!!!!!!! I was so excited! My second time this year - and it was on my summer livin' list. I guess I'm REALLY livin'! This one was much more of a permanent establishment than the one I went to in Granville. Multiple buildings and open every day.

The "ice cream garden." Could anything be more lovely? Ahhhh the garden of ice cream.

We ended up shopping at Belks (we don't have those here - but maybe some of you know what I'm talking about) and I got a SUPER cute dress...which I'm sure you'll see soon. And we made our way around the Biltmore Village, which was a collection of stores just outside the estate. I didn't buy anything there except lunch. :)

Everyone knows a good girls' weekend out includes SHOPPING!!!!
