Our Trip to the White House

No, we didn't go to Washington, but to The White's House in Asheville, North Carolina! We left home early Tuesday morning for the longest road trip we've taken Dawson on so far (he did great!). We drove to Maryville where we dropped Bentley off with my parents and stopped for lunch at Something Savory, and then we continued the second part of our trip Tuesday afternoon. Since Interstate 40 is closed due to a rock slide we had to detour to North Carolina's scenic interstate which was very pretty and snowy at the top of the mountain (our Jeep looked like we'd been through a blizzard).
After a long day of traveling (over 7 hours actual driving time) we arrived at the White's house Tuesday evening. We had a great visit staying up there a couple of nights. Not only did we get to visit our good friends, Josh and Cassandra, we also got to see their house now that they've gotten settled. Cassandra and I talked baby stuff the whole time since she's expecting a little one this summer (yay!), and the guys talked sports and played Xbox Golf. While we were there we visited downtown Asheville, had breakfast at a great spot downtown called Tupelo Honey Cafe, played indoor putt-putt, played a movie trivia game, and raced go carts at the Asheville Fun Depot. We had a great time visiting, and we were more than happy to let Josh and Cassandra get all the "practice" changing diapers and feeding Dawson that they wanted. We were sad to go, but hope to see our friends again very soon. We made it back to Alabama Thursday evening.
Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of all of us...most of them include Dawson as usual.
