Fall Vacation with Friends

We spent this Labor Day weekend celebrating the start of fall with Sean and Kate in Black Mountain.  We rented a beautiful house with a pool, a hot tub and a sauna.  Fitz is just a few months younger than Ethan so it was super cute to watch the kids play together.  We had a great time playing in the pool, hiking and eating.  Vacation always seems too short!
   
Our house in Black Mountain!
   
   
   
   
The kids loved this shower.
   
We had the most perfect weather.  It was the first break from humidity and hot temperatures.  It really did feel like fall!
   
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
We had sushi take out our first night.
   
Harper enjoyed having another little one to play with.
  
Morning coffee 
  
The kitchen had a beautiful vaulted ceiling with windows up top.
   
   
  
We had to check out the view from the kitchen windows after Sean found the ladder. 
   
We went on a hike on Bearwallow Mountain Trail.
   
Both kids walked a little bit by themselves.
   
  
   
   
    
   
We had lunch up top.
   
  
   
The view was beautiful!
   
   
Harper wanted to nap.
   
   
    
    
After our hike, we had beers and pretzels at a local brewery then headed back to go swimming.

After dinner, we had a fire pit to roast marshmallows. 
   
   
   
The kids loved these mega-bunkbeds.  They did not sleep there.
   
Morning mimosas!
   
We started Sunday with another hike to Catawba Falls.  It was crowded so we had to wear our masks.
   
   
   
   
  
   
   
We had lunch on a secluded part of the trail.
    
  
After our hike, we spent the rest of the day in the pool.
   
  
Cheers!
  
We tried the sauna after the pool.
   
   
Kate and I enjoyed making boards this weekend!
  
We had a pumpkin beer taste test.  Kate and I each brought three different pumpkin beers to try.  We ended up bringing the same three!
