Our move back to the East Coast, and to Davidson in particular, has made meeting up with family and long-time friends much easier to do. I was really happy that my group of close college friends was able to descend upon Davidson for a weekend sans kids. I think this was our first non-wedding and non-baby centered ladies' weekend since children have entered the picture for us all. Sarah and Melanie were able to carpool from Durham (a <2.5 hour drive), Jess drove down from Winston-Salem (less that 1.5 hours away!), Steph came up from Columbia (~2 hours by car), and Cindy and Liv both flew down to CLT. It was a fun weekend of catching up over wine, beer, good food, walks, and a boat cruise, made possible by husbands willing to watch over the kids for a couple of days. Everyone was able to stay at our house in Davidson, and while we were around, Mitch was on daddy-duty for the weekend while our guests were around. Hopefully, these sorts of ladies' weekends will become a regular thing, because it was a ton of fun!

| Boat cruise time! |
 |
| The water of Lake Norman was really warm! Almost too warm... |

 |
| The highlight of the boat cruise was definitely the "high-speed" tubing, not to be confused with lazy river, drink-in-hand tubing |
 |
| After cleaning up, we headed to Primal Brewery for a pre-dinner drink |
 |
| dinner at Sangam Indian restaurant, where the food was delish and plentiful (esp for Sarah) |
 |
| Sunday brunch at Fork! before everyone went on their separate ways |
After our last guests left, the boys were up from their nap, and we had fun playing around and then getting dinner at a Peruvian chicken rotisserie restaurant. It was nice to leave the mess on their floor and table and not ours after a busy weekend. ;)

| happy Noah |

| enjoying Peruvian chicken, green beans, and fried rice. This might become a Sunday dinner tradition ;) |
Looks amazing!
