Family Reunion


This weekend we made a trip to Spring Creek, NC to visit Dan's parents Layten and Veda. We had a small family reunion of sorts. Dan's brother Thad and his family (his wife Ingrid and their twin sons Jason and Nicolas) came from San Francisco, CA and his sister Amy and her family (her husband Jim, and their two children, Riley and Markie) came from Lexington, KY. Dan's uncle and aunt (Vance and Janet) also made it up from High Point, NC. We had a wonderful weekend and the kids had a great time playing together. We were able to attend the Bluff Mountain Festival in Hot Springs, NC and made some last minute purchases at an outfitter there (on the Appalachian Trail). We also spent a lot of time discussing our upcoming trip and now should have several more people following this blog. The upcoming week will be filled with final preparations. Everyone in the family remains very excited.
