Get Away

It takes a certain type of person to appreciate a weekend in the mountains.  You have to be the type of person who likes eating, sleeping in late, chatting with good friends and being in beautiful nature.

You can imagine it’s very hard to find people like this.

Play me some mountain music…  (Or Guster.  That’ll work too.)

Ya’ll come back soon now, ya hear?

Thanks to good friends Kate & Charlie and Anne & Locke for making the windy trip up the mountain roads to spend Memorial Day weekend with us at our little getaway.  You know you get along really well with people when you can spend 3 days with them without cable TV.  What a great weekend.

(2010 visit here and 2009 visit here.)
