I got to go visit Alli for a week in North Carolina. I haven't seen her since August, and I have miss her and her family a ton! I flew in late Friday night.
These little muffins are who I miss. They are getting so grown up.
Saturday the first day I was there we went to Duke University and took pictures of the gardens.
I took a bit of stroll around the campus.
The buildings are so majestic and old.
I couldn't even imagine seeing these buildings day in and day out.
I enjoyed visiting the campus.
The third day we went to a movie.
Then we went to the art museum.
It turns out it is closed on Mondays, who knew.
It was a nice day, so we just went around and looked at the pieces outside.
We had a good time and it was a good way to spend the day.
The colors where still beautiful even this late in the season.
On Tuesday we were in a fairytale.
Allison got us tickets to the famous Biltmore.
This house is massive and beautiful.
There were no pictures allowed inside this huge mansion.
But Allison never let that stop her.
The Biltmore is 179,000 square feet. It has a bowling ally and a swimming pool.
It has over 250 rooms and acres and acres of gardens and forest.
It is truly an amazing building. It makes you want to travel back in time, but only if you are rich like the Vanderbilts.
That night we went the coolest theater.
The next day we went home and got pedicures.
The last day I was there was Sydney's birthday. We went to her school to have lunch with her.
That night we went bowling and there were some awesome moves.
We played two games. I pretty much rock at bowling Eli got a higher score than I did.
Sydney's birthday is the reason I went when I did.
She turned 8 and I am not going to be able to make it to her baptism. So I have to make up for it by being there for her birthday.
I had a great trip and am super grateful to Jason and my mom for making it possible for me to go. I miss these guys so much.

What a fun trip! Sao awesome that you got to go visit Allie. I think our family is going to have to head out that way sometime soon while she and Jaron still live on the east coast. It looks like it is a beautiful place to visit. Love the Vaden feet!
What a fun trip! Looks like you found plenty to do...though I'm not sure bowling is "your " sport :0)
That Biltmore place looks pretty posh. But, you made yourselves eight at home. Well done.
Jealous of your sister time for sure... but happy for you even more.
There was a posting on Americas most wanted for two women seen taking pictures in the Biltmore... it all makes sense now.
Hooray for sister visits! Allison's kids are getting so big! And still cute as ever. I love that you still took pictures in the Biltmore, such rebels! You and Allison have the most gorgeous hair! I'm trying to grow mine out, but I doubt it will ever match your beautiful tresses! Happy almost Christmas!
Your hair is so long! Looks like a fun trip
