Last night my husband I returned home after a long weekend amongst the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in West Virginia. We stayed in a lodge with 18 very unique and intelligent people as a 30th birthday celebration for one of Carl’s best friends. We played games (I was impressed by how many people on the trip adored Settlers of Catan), watched the meteor shower, and made some delicious food! I even got in a little bit of painting, but I’ll save that for a later post. No one had cell phone service or internet access at the lodge so it really allowed everyone to decompress. All in all, it was a very relaxing and fun mini vacation!
