The Cottage in Waynesville

A couple years ago when my friend Elizabeth got married we stayed at an amazing cottage in Waynesville, NC. Ever since that trip we have longed to go back and were finally able to do that this year! After Thanksgiving we escaped to the mountains for a few days. Even though it rained every second we were there, we were still able to hike and play outside. There were definitely some ups and downs but overall it was really good to be away for a bit as a family.
