Our family usually spends every Thanksgiving in Blowing Rock with our friends, the Esteps. This year, however, we're going to stay closer to home and enjoy Thanksgiving at our house in North Georgia. But, Kate and I needed our Blowing Rock fix, so decided to make to hour and half trip for the day. Because we're usually there in late November, we never get to see the leaves at their best, so this was something we were both looking forward to.
We walked around downtown BR, popping into all the great stores and enjoying a delicious lunch at the Storie Street Grill - a turkey and avacodo sandwich for me, and a bacon, brie and apple panini for Kate - yum!! When we couldn't eat anymore, we drove up to the old house we rented for a quick drive-by, then onto the Parkway. We stopped at every overlook and just enjoyed the gorgeous fall weather and beautiful scenery!
When we got back from Blowing Rock we met Heather and Ashley for dinner at a crazy little sushi place. Neither one of the girls had had sushi before and they wanted Kate and me to introduce them to it - that didn't go over too well. I though Heather was going to vomit at our table!! We had so much fun, though, catching up on the past twenty years and reminiscing on the first nine!
After dinner, we met Kate's friend Duncan at Finnigan's Pub downtown for a couple of pints of Smithwicks and some laughs! We had a great weekend and I'm so glad she was able to come visit!! Love you, Kate!!!
