Asheville with Nona and Papa

During the last weekend in May, we spent a great weekend in Asheville with Nona and Papa. We went to Chimney Rock Park, which we hadn't been to since our first visit to Asheville with Cassidy back in 2002. It was a beautiful day and the views were amazing.





Livia enjoyed giving Nona high fives

We went on a hike to see some waterfalls. Since we forgot the Ergo, Dan rented a backpack to carry Livia. It was pretty uneven and rocky in places, and Livia didn't love being carried.




On the way back, I decided to let Livia walk for a little while, planning to carry her when she got tired. She walked the whole way down, over a mile!


The next morning we enjoyed an early dip in the pool


On the way home, we stopped at the Western NC Nature Center, just east of downtown. It was a wonderful place! They even had a petting zoo.


Sheep! Baa!


There was a peacock walking around there

OMG - you really had time to post!!
The pictures are great. Looks like Livia had a good time and she was a trooper with all that walking. She is going to really enjoy being close to the Washington zoo since they have great exhibits.
Can't wait to get a hug from all of you.
Love from Grandma Mari
