We spent the weekend in Asheville, NC at Biltmore Estate for Cam and Nick's wedding. We were supposed to leave around 5am Friday so that Michael could be set up at a Starbucks for his 10am conference call. At about 11pm Thursday night, I realized that I had forgotten to pick up the dry cleaning, which included Michael's suit, so our departure was delayed until after his call, around 2pm. We rolled in to Asheville around 6pm, just in time to meet Kathryn, Steve, and Henry for a quick dinner. We had breakfast for dinner at IHOP, Henry had prunes :)
After dinner, we met up with the rest of the family at a surprise 60th anniversary celebration for Michael's grandparents, Ray and Kenalene. We didn't stay too long, as it was getting late, and MJ was sleepy.On Saturday, I went to Cameron's bridal luncheon while Michael and MJ played at the hotel a bit. We met up after the luncheon and spent the day touring the Biltmore grounds with Kathryn, Steve, and Henry. We saw the farm/petting zoo and winery. Marlee really really loves animals. This is the second time we've taken her to a petting zoo, and she has such a great time. We just have to keep her from kissing the animals!
We went back to the hotel for a nap before the wedding. MJ never took a morning nap and was up until 3:30 pm...the longest she's been awake her entire life! Needless to say, she was very tired and more than a bit fussy.
We arrived back at the Biltmore around 6pm to get seated for the wedding. The ceremony was in the Italian Garden, just next to the house. Everything about it was beautiful, especially Cam, of course. :) When the ceremony ended, there was a coctail hour on the Library Terrace followed by the reception in a tent in the garden.
First Dance as Mr. and Mrs. A
Marlee was a dancing fool!
She even danced when the band took a break, and there was no one else on the floor!
All that dancing wore her out!
It was so wonderful to see the whole family, and we had a great time. After nearly running out of gas (gas crisis, ya know!), we made it home safely.

Looks like you guys had a great time. Marlee was adorable! We are headed to Charlotte this weekend for a wedding. I'm hoping that the gas situation doesn't leave us stranded there.
That prune picture is hilarious. That just proves we were right to go sans shirt in favor of a bib. (We wouldn't have wanted to show up at the party all pruney.)
Oh my gosh...I LOVE the picture of her laid out on the bed! She's zonked!!! :) Too cute. Glad you made it back ok...this gas crisis is getting out of hand!
What a great trip... I love the pass out picture!!
