Chad and I spent the weekend far far away from our troubles and our worries and settled in among the affluent society that has yet to be touched by the recession, evidently, if the numerous Lexus, Mercedes, Range Rovers, and Jags were a clue. We spent the weekend in Highlands, NC at the Old Edwards Inn & Spa, a fantastic little place nestled way way up in the mountains - so way up, in fact, that I almost puked several times with all the turning and climbing.
It was my step-grandmother's birthday and she invited the entire family up for 4 days of bliss. Chad and I lounged, shopped, ate gourmet food (including the incredible cookies left in our room to welcome us), had a spa treatment, and swam in the mineral pool. We were pampered, catered to, and left feeling refreshed and dreading coming back to the real world.

Then we came home and were greeted by our dogs, who we had to leave behind while we vacationed. Even though they were well taken care of by a good friend (thanks Jared!), we missed them so much! No spa treatment in the world could be better than a good licking from Jake and Lucy. And no hotel could feel as homey to me as our little house in the country. We settled back in over pizza last night.
Everyone needs a little getaway, but coming home feels so good.
