Memorial Day Weekend with the Family

For Memorial Day weekend we traveled to NC to spend a weekend with my family for my dad and his twin brother's 60th birthday celebration. We took over a quaint inn in the mountains of NC and enjoyed lots of hiking, boating and downtime. It was great to get away from the craziness of DC and enjoy the outdoors for a bit. The only drawback was the 9+ hour drive home. Funny enough, Ellen handled it better than her parents thanks to the handy portable dvd player and a couple of Elmo videos!!
