Hug a Tree

Gus and Us

Tag-A-Long

This weekend we purchased our REI Tagalong carrier for Gus. As we go on more walks and hikes he is starting to feel left out ahead of the pack in his stroller and obviously too heavy to carry. We were thrilled to see how delighted he was to ride on his dada's back. He giggles and chirps the whole way (2 hikes - Shelly and Lynn Lakes in Raleigh). He also likes to wave to passersby and say his favorite word "Hi". It was a great way to exercise, enjoy the season and scenery and expose Gus to nature. I think we'll get lots of use out of this (says the person who doesn't carry the load!)

Asheville in August

A couple of weeks ago we were given the opportunity to escape the heat in the mountains and stay at the legendary Grove Park Inn compliments of my company if I worked a conference there. Sign us up! We made it a family trip.

Complete with cupcakes, kayaks, and fun eats.

This tip jar at our cupcake shop cracked me up.
