The weekend before I left for NYC, our family packed up and headed for the hills on a little getaway to the sweet, humble mountain town of Franklin, NC. It was a low-key few days spent relaxing in the cabin, hiking, toodling around in antique shops (Franklin has the BEST antique shops I've ever been to, by the way, and I've been to quite a few!),and heading into the town square for live bluegrass music (with a performance by some cloggers! Our rustic mountain town experience was complete!) Little family trips like this one are one of my favorite things EVER. :) Something I really appreciate about my parents is how they have always been consistent throughout the years in making time for fun little family getaways to random, creative places!
This is a ring I saw in one of the antique stores and I want it!
The first day we went on a hike. Very short and sweet--just about an hour roundtrip to see a waterfall. That, by the way, is my idea of the best kind of hike:
In the cabin, we played speed scrabble, watched the World Cup England vs. U.S. game, and just enjoyed relaxing.

That's all for now! Right now I'm sipping some delightful fresh-sqeezed limeade, contemplating whether or not to dive back into my Russian History book. I'm having a TOUGH time making myself get back into the homework-mode. Hence, my attempt to make it better by fixing myself a glass of limeade. :)
