A Weekend in Pinehurst

Two weekends ago, CB came in for a visit (wrote about it here) and as I was driving to pick her up at the airport, Eddie called me.  We had been invited to go to Pinehurst on an all-expenses paid weekend, including the spa and golf rounds. We would have been FOOLS not to go!

My mom was keeping my brother's kids while they were on a trip, so we had to figure out child care. 

Carrie got in my car and after hugs all around, I casually said, "soooo.....what are you doing next weekend??" and, being the SAINT that Carrie Beth Williamson is, she agreed to come back and keep our children.

Let me repeat: she agreed to give up a FUN weekend in DC to come here and not sleep through the night, beg people to poop, wipe bottoms, tie shoes, wipe noses, hug crying kids, and just be the rockstar aunt that she is. 

Is she not amazing?

It was SUCH a fun weekend with the Grosses and we were able to totally relax knowing the boys were so well taken care of.  It.was.awesome!

We waited until CB got in Friday night to head to Pinehurst so we got there kind of late-- but we sat up talking until after 1.  I slept through the night and thought it was pretty fantastic.

Saturday morning, the guys headed off to play #4, while Susan and I had a big breakfast and then headed here:

Ohhhh, it was so so so nice! I had an 80 minute massage and then took a long shower and then we met the guys after their round.  We walked through the town and enjoyed the warm sunshine!

On our first wedding anniversary, I took Eddie to the Magnolia Inn in Pinehurst-- it's the cutest little bed and breakfast.  We were walking by and I spotted it and got so excited! We had to take a picture together there...

 Then we found a little spot we could sit outside and eat lunch.  It was such a gorgeous day to be outside!

The boys toasted a great round...

We went out to an AMAZING dinner Saturday night and had the most fun.  I didn't take any pictures that night, shockingly....

The next morning I had to take a picture of my breakfast-- this was the most incredible buffet I have ever seen.  Ever.  The four of us literally couldn't stop talking about how great the food was- haha!

Susan and I headed back to the spa while the guys played #2.  We enjoyed pedicures and relaxing! After our spa time, we showered there and then headed towards the main clubhouse... the weather was absolutely amazing... the bluest skies ever.

We timed it up just right to catch the boys as they were walking up the 18th hole.  I tried to snap some discreet pictures of Eddie...

 They had a caddy named LeRoy... they loved him- haha

Our little golfers- proud playing course 2!

Susan and I were obsessed with the putter boy logo... he's cute!

We had a great weekend away with great friends and it really was nice to know the kids were so happy while we were gone.  They had a BLAST with CB...

Eddie and I realize this weekend never would have happened without her being so kind and selfless...and we are SO SO SO SO SO appreciative!!!
