We girls headed to Biltmore this weekend to celebrate Mom and Shannon's birthdays! We arrived in time to celebrate with a bubble toast:
Friday night we had a casual dinner at Cedric's and just enjoyed catching up.
Saturday was a very big day! We explored the barnyard and artisan crafters in the morning before we became crafters ourselves! The outdoor department is expanding their offerings, and we were part a new program in dried floral art:
They had all kinds of pressed flowers--many from the estate--that we could arrange then glue into glass frames:
We each made a very different frame, but we all had such fun:
We finished there in time to do a little shopping and have lunch before we explored the gardens. Each of us chose our favorite beds. Shannon loved the double daffodil tulip combo:
Issa loved what she called the Easter tulips:
I loved the double tulips:
And Nana loved the pansies:
We made it to the Conservatory to see the orchids this trip, too:
We spent the afternoon at the Renaissance exhibit--the last of the art shows--and became Venus:
We ended the day with dinner at our favorite restaurant.
The whole weekend was filled with so much laughter! Issa truly is big enough to be one of us now, and it was fun to just soak up some time away. Mom has declared she is already loving her 70s, and our goal is to keep it that way!
