Southern Pines

checking out his frog painting from the farmer's market we visited
Trying not to smile, while ignoring me, aka the crazy photographer
So serious
Hard to see but it is a double rainbow
Mr. Flexiblity, and yes we rarely wear pants it seems... Well not 'we', he rarely wears pants.
Last weekend we took a long weekend and went to Southern Pines from Thursday until Sunday. We had a great time. Jon played in a couple of USGA golf tournaments. Griffin's highlights were passing over all the choo choo tracks and seeing a train. My highlight was going to the Pinehurst spa and getting a massage. I stayed for 4 hours just relaxing, reading my book, steaming and drinking fabulous strawberry smoothies. I loved it. The nicest spa I think I have been to and I have made my way to many while of trips. It always makes me wonder how many towels a place like that must own. Linens for drying your hands in the bathrooms. And with all the water and smoothies I took in, I alone used countless linens after using the restroom. And fluffy white towels EVERYWHERE. It was fantastic and I can't wait to go back... Jon of course was in golf heaven. We got to eat at Bonefish Grill one night. We all love that restaurant. I usually try to eat different things at restaurants as to not get in a rut but there I always get the Bang Bang Shrimp for an appetizer, Jon loves it too, and for my entree I always get the salmon with the pan asian sauce and the jasmine rice. It is all SO good. I just wish I could recreate it at home. Griffin's other favorite part of our mini vacay was he got to jump on the bed. I don't allow it at home, but when we are there, why not? Not my bed. :)
