Highlands, NC

After a busy Christmas day, the four of us spent time the day after as a family. Will played with his toys, we cleaned up some, and just relished in the quiet that slow, schedule free days bring. Thursday we headed to Athens and spent the night at my parent's house. Friday Matt and I left the kids and traveled to Highlands, NC to spend four days/three nights at The Old Edwards Inn. It was the first time we had left Annely Blake and it was a little sad, but it was great to get a break and have some R & R sans kids. Although the weather was a little cloudy and drizzly, we enjoyed each other, the fresh mountain air, and exploring the quaint little town of Highlands together. Back in Athens, Will did a good job making my parents laugh, and experienced his first on-line video games. (Which I highly recommend if you need a minute or two to yourself and are willing to leave your destructive toddler unattended at the computer : www. sesamestreet.com for short little interactive videos. Will's favorite was Elmo goes potty :)) Anyways....we're back in Columbus and back to the old grind. Mops starts next week and Matt went back to work today.
