Since Melissa and I got in on a late flight into Charlotte, Laura met us and we stayed downtown for the night. We spent a few hours just catching up before collapsing into bed, exhausted from our travels. The next morning, Laura and I went out for some coffee and left Melissa to catch a few more zzz's. We then got ready and ventured out to Childress Vineyard for lunch in Lexington. What a beautiful vineyard! We enjoyed some cheese and crackers on the grounds before snagging a highly coveted table on the veranda overlooking the vineyard. There was even a band playing live music, but not what you would expect. Think Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers style. We were sipping vino to Free Bird and Ramblin Man! We were in the South.
After a nice walk on the grounds and a stop in the gift shop, we ventured out to see Scott and Laura's house. It was so great to see Payton and Ian and how they have grown. It was also really nice to see the house and all the places that Laura and Scott talk about in their day-to-day activities. Scott had offered to watch the kids again that evening so we could have a girls' night out in Winston-Salem. It was pretty low key, but fun. We found a cute restaurant along an area where the community was having a little street festival. Good people watching!
That Sunday, Melissa, Laura and Scott had their Fantasy Football Draft, so we hung around close to home, ate some wings and finger foods and enjoyed laying low. Typical Sunday Night Dinner style, just like old times. Thanks for a great weekend, van Poppels! I need to bring Nels and Baby Paulson next time!
