Full, full weekend behind us, and another one coming up!!
Last Thursday I flew to Austin, helped Jake pack up all his stuff, pick up a rental car, pack all said stuff into said car, then drive all the way to Atlanta on Friday, with a pit-stop in Birmingham to have dinner with Martin and Marielle on his birthday. Then there was unloading, returning the rental, collapsing into bed, waking up, unpacking, arranging, Target and Ikea-ing, more unpacking, arranging, building... (ok, I think you probably get the idea.)
Then on Sunday afternoon, we finally dropped what we were doing, left still-damp laundry in the dryer, grabbed swimsuits and groceries, and headed up to North Carolina, where my friend's parents have a mountain cabin getaway, to meet up with a bunch of friends for a lot of good eating, drinking, porch-sitting, relaxing, playing, swimming and boating. Just what the doctor ordered. (Well, the student doctor, anyway...)

| All smartphones left on the side table... |
 |
| ...for some hardcore relaxing |
 |
| Is there anything better than a porch swing? |
 |
| Or a rocking chair to sit on *and* one for your feet? |
 |
| The feast |
 |
| The master cook |
 |
| Taleesha and her birthday card |

| Jake makes it look easy |

| Is it obvious why none of us wanted the weekend to end...? |
