Weekend Retreat"},"content":{"rendered":"

<\/a> 
There’s nothing like a wonderful vacation with your family, & I’ve had two blessed weekends since August, spending time in the beautiful Boone area with Keith, Cameron, Seth & Kelley; all going to visit Skye. AND enjoying riding bikes together–what more could I ask (except to one day ride bikes in Scotland?)!<\/p>\n

Last Friday evening through Sunday morning we stayed in the comfy West Jefferson cabin of gracious friends.<\/p>\n

Sat. midday all of us (except Kelley) drove to the Va. Creeper Trail. This trip Seth had his new black Trek bike & Cameron had his own orange pro Trek bike–neat:)
We did miss having Kelley along, but she was enjoying an afternoon of serious stress free couch-lounging at the cabin with her Three-Three:)<\/p>\n

After finishing the Creeper we picked up Kelley & headed into West Jefferson where we celebrated my birthday at a nice local restaurant, Frasier’s. I would highly recommend it; the food was superb & the atmosphere was very nice.
Kelley & I even ended up buying some neat hand-carved wooden trees that we spied scattered along the restaurant window sills. <\/p>\n

And Sunday, after having a late breakfast, we packed up & headed to downtown Boone where we shopped a bit & then bought lunch from The Daily Bread, which we took outside for a picnic, enjoying the fresh fall mt. air.
Also met Skye’s friends Abby & Adam who joined us for lunch:)<\/p>\n

What a blessed time!
And when we had to leave, knowing Skye would be in Apex in three days made it easier….. <\/p>\n
