sleepy mountain trip...

(with my lil pumpkinhead)

this year's trip was definitely different from last year's, thats for sure. there's definitely quite a difference in vacationing while pregnant and vacationing with a 7 month old. (which is trippy enough in it's own right-- 7 months already?! sheesh!)

but it was lovely indeed-- good times with old friends, pretty weather and scenery, and an awesome cabin with amazing views. ellie kept up her laid back, adaptable (kevin-like) nature and slept really well for us too. and she's not the only one who slept well... there must be something bout that mountain air! i slept like a rock, both easily and often. in fact, it kind of became a running joke. i passed out most nites just after ellie did. (like 8pm. not cool at all!) but, on a positive note, it resulted in me being the least hungover person there.... :o)

thank goodness for mountain time! i'm so happy we've made this an annual trip. it's lovely to get away every now and again... and silliness with friends, along with LOTS of delicious food, is always good for the soul indeed.

til next year, blue ridge!
