A Weekend of Relaxation

Last weekend Ireland spent two nights with her aunt and uncle, meaning Michael and I had a whole weekend to ourselves. This was a first...Ireland has never stayed away from home for more than one night. So Michael and I decided to take off to the mountains to escape the heat. We ended up in Blowing Rock. We found a nice little resort...the Crestwood Resort and Spa





The cottage we stayed in


I even had time to play around with my new phone and downloaded Instagram. These photos are more from Crestwood using Instagram...a new obsession. like I need another:D 


Crestwood is a unique and quaint place to stay...with a restaurant, art gallery, and spa.


Checking out the art at the resort


There were so many beautiful flowers at the resort and in the town. Blowing Rock is so beautiful in the summer.


Before leaving for home, we enjoyed a couples massage:)  By then I was sooo ready to come home. I missed Ireland like crazy:D

  3. Looks like a gorgeous place in the mountains. And what a beautiful name, Ireland....my relative's birthplace! I wish I would have thought of that when I had my daughter many moons ago. It's always good to get away as it makes you appreciate going home.
