whirlwind visit

We spent several days in Connecticut last week and it went by fast! We took two days to get there (we drove) and then spent a few days with each of our families. The beginning half of the trip was spent preparing for Sarah's baby shower, putting on the shower, cleaning up from the shower, and going to church on Sunday morning with my parents. The last part of the trip was a little bit more relaxing. We were able to get to a few stores we don't always find in Asheville (Ann Taylor Loft is my personal favorite!) and go swimming. We also enjoyed the no-sales-tax thing on clothing under a certain dollar amount. Maybe in the future we'll be doing all of Dylan's back-to-school shopping in Connecticut. Probably not a bad idea! It was great to see family--but we're sad that we didn't even get to see all of the family. Hopefully the next visit we'll be able to do that. It will be here before we know it because we're going to visit just after little baby Purdy decides to make his or her arrival. I'm thinking it's a boy....
