Friday at lunchtime, we hit the road for Beech Mountain for Branner's second trip. We made a pit stop in Blowing Rock. We walked Branner and Bailey around the town and stopped in for a late afternoon drink (wine for me, pumpkin ale for Barry, nothing for Branner and a bowl of water for Bailey) at Glidewell's. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the temperature was perfect for enjoying a cocktail outside.
We got up to Beech just in time to unpack and start dinner before our good friends, Dirk and Rachel (plus their dog, Sissy), arrived. We had a yummy steak dinner cooked by Barry and Dirk and an outdoor fire and toasted s'mores. Yum!
Branner slept until 8 on Saturday, and after relaxing around the house all morning, we decided to go down the mountain to Banner Elk for lunch. We went to our favorite deli, Dunn's Deli, and it was delicious as usual! We then took a short walk around downtown BE and headed home for Branner's nap and to relax before going out to dinner.
All the big boys and girl's had a night out at our favorite tapas restaurant, Zuzda's. Uncle Bretty was kind enough to come babysit Branner so we could enjoy a night out and celebrate our anniversary and Rachel's big promotion to principal. We had a fabulous time at dinner even though we all ate WAY too much!
After getting to sleep in until 8 again on Sunday, we packed and cleaned and hit the road back down the mountain. We stopped and shopped at the Tanger outlets in Blowing Rock on our way home and everyone got a few new fall clothing items. It was the perfect end to the perfect weekend. We can't wait to go back to Beech!
