What a great respite we had from the heat in Memphis when we journeyed to Asheville this past week! G'mama was a good traveler...chatting away in the back seat on our trip up and back.
One of the highlights of the trip was a trip to Lake Powatan where our grandfather took the "kids" during the summer. This was their beach and favorite campground. G'mama, Katherine, and Mildred were really thrilled to see the place after all of these years.
We had a wonderful time at Lake Lure with Uncle Booty, Mildred, Katherine, and Teresa. The view of Chimney Rock and the Smokies from Booty's back window is breathtaking. The brother and sisters sang old favorites as Mildred rocked out on the piano.
On our last day, Lola and I ventured off to Merri-Mac to check out the old camp ground. We are pleased to report that the camp looked active and thriving...although none of the campers appeared to be as cool as Kristina, Alexis, and Kathy.
It was a great trip, filled with thoughts of all of the great family memories that we have of being together in the mountains. I know that all of us agree that Asheville holds a special place in our hearts.

Mom,
Congratulations on a wonderful post! Isn't it your first? I'm very impressed. I'm also so jealous of your trip. Every summer I find myself thinking about Asheville and the mountains. It was great to at least experience it second hand.
Love you,
Lexi
