Last weekend, we celebrated Meme's birthday with a family trip to the High Hampton Inn.  The Inn, situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Cashiers, NC, has served as a family friendly vacation spot for generations.   I've been five times now and had the pleasure of introducing the spot to Greg.   Of course, now we enjoy taking Avery there, and this trip was her second.

The highlight of the weekend was not Greg and Dad's hiking odyssey or my paddling around the lake on a paddle board or kayak, but Avery fishing for the first time.   Equipped with a brand new Barbie fishing pole, tackle box, and her Dad's fishing skills, Avery found that the fish were biting!

 Avery caught a lot of Bluegill, and had no qualms about touching them and posing for photos.

Avery really enjoyed sharing the experience of fishing with her Daddy, and that will make this trip to the High Hampton one to remember for many years to come!
