Asheville

This weekend Doug and I made the 3.5hr drive to Asheville. The drive was beautiful, I thoroughly enjoyed the mountains covered in colorful trees - but I forgot to take pictures en route! While there, we celebrated Jenny's (Doug's cousin) marriage.
The lovely bride and her father - look at her bouquet!!
 The reception was in a barn, reminiscent of the Schoharie pumpkin patch, beautifully decorated with lights. I just wish it had been 10 degrees warmer!


Afterward, they served a nice dinner - my favorite part was the settings! Each person had a unique goblet, and personalized place settings. So classy.


While in Asheville we stayed with Doug's Grandma Christie and spent a lot of time with her, Uncle John, Aunt Heather & Uncle Grant & family, cousin Natalie & family, and cousin Susannah & family. (We don't call them "cousin Natalie", or "Uncle John", those are just there so you can figure our the relations haha.) Heather fed everyone snacks, lunch (zuppa toscana from olive garden!!) and dessert (apple and pumpkin pies!!). We also went to a nearby park where the boys men, couldn't help showing off:

Grant
Doug - he really did get all the way up, haha,  I just had bad timing.

David, Natalie's boy.
Needless to say, we had a delightful time. Thanks especially to Heather for the food, and Grandma Christie for housing and feeding us! We really look forward to Thanksgiving :).

In a phone conversation with Granny Christie I told her how much I liked hanging out with you Saturday- and she said that you are just a genuinely nice person- and she likes you very much, too!
