Disclaimer: Super long post!
Okay so the last week of May was a very fun one around the Lankford house. We took off last Wednesday, the 28th, and headed for Asheville, N.C. We packed the boys in our car and the other car had my parents, Tuck, Clay and Allison. We were off!! We stopped in Knoxville to eat some great Sawyers chicken and allow Clay and I some time to reminisce on our college days! Tuck is dead set on being a Vol as well, so we did a quick drive through the campus and we were off. We got to Asheville late afternoon and enjoyed the city. All was going well, until we realized that Cy was starting to feel awfully warm. Since he slept on the bench during dinner we knew something was not right. The thermometer did not lie and we had just started our family vacation with a toddler running a 103 degree fever. We gave him some medicine, went to bed and hoped for the best.
Thursday we were off to visit the Biltmore, even with our sick child. He continued to run the fever, but the medicine did bring it down enough that he was able to have fun. The Biltmore was great and we all were very impressed. Thursday was also mine and Nate's 4 year anniversary so it was fun to hang out with everyone and eat a couple of yummy meals. We went ahead and drove over to the house we were staying at for the weekend. Everyone was glad to be there and getting settled.
Friday was golf for the guys and pool for the girls and kids! We also made a trip over to Clemson for dinner that night. Thanks to Big Nanny, I am obsessed with the card game PIT. I took it on the trip and Friday night we played several WILD rounds. Tuck was the winner for the night, but we all had several good laughs.
Saturday we rented a boat and spent most of the day out on the lake. Yes, Tuck and I were awesome tube riders however I am still very sore from holding on for dear life. Cy loved the waterfalls and riding the boat. Colby just hung out as usual!
Sunday came and it was time to head home. However, my mom had let it slip that H&M is now open in Atlanta, and it just so happens that you can go home that way from where we were in South Carolina. So several shopping bags later we finally made it back to Franklin last night. The trip wad great and we had a blast spending time with the fam!

No one should look that good in a bathing suit after 2 babies with one of them only a few months old!! I am glad you had fun. Asheville is where Michael and I moved here from. We miss it in the summer and fall.
