Remember this post I did a few months back about our nephew Preston?
If you not, you should go and read it.
Today I'm stoked because he's coming to visit us from Louisiana this weekend!
Can I get a 'WooHoo?!'
This picture is from our wedding reception.
They had just played the LSU Fight Song.
So, what's on the agenda for the weekend?
Well, Preston just turned 21 so we're taking a sort of 'birthday celebration' trip to Asheville, NC.
Me, Brad, my Mom & Dad and Preston's girlfriend
Preston, his girlfriend nor Brad have ever been up there.
Everyone, except for Brad and my Dad are going to The Biltmore.
This will be my, umm.., 8th time or 9th time up there in 9-years?
I used to get a season pass because there really is a lot to do.
It's been about 3-years since my last visit though and I am ASTONISHED at how much the ticket prices have gone up.
From $45 for the day to $70!
Granted, you get to see the house, visit their winery and lunch in one of their restaurants but I still find that a big increase.
You can't even get on the property without buying a ticket.
Even so, we're going.
Brad and my Dad plan on playing golf instead.
The best part of the weekend, aside from spending time with Preston, will be the cooler weather in the mountains.
Not as cool as our camping trip, but still cooler than down here.
What are your weekend plans?
