I've been craving them recently for several reasons:
1. I love the mountains. They are particularly pretty in the spring, especially since some Atlanta days have already gotten too hot to eat outside. Soon it will be ALL days.
2. Last time I was there was New Years. During college, I made a pilgrimage to the NC mountains (or at least the East Tennessee valley) about every 3 months, if not more often. I'm overdue!
3. April was when I always KNEW summer was coming.. for the three years I worked on Montreat summer staff, I would get super excited around this time because it was SO CLOSE!
4. It feels like everyone in Atlanta is on spring break this week except me. My spring break has consisted of sleeping in 5-10 extra minutes because traffic is much lighter than usual and last night I even went to bed at 8 pm. Heyyyo real world.
5. Alex and Sarah have moved/are moving to Asheville and we will miss them dearly but I am glad to have an excuse to get some more mountain time in when we visit :)
Fortunately, I think Spencer and I are planning to go to WNC for Memorial Day weekend to see those old hills, visit Sarah and Alex in their new place, and celebrate Meghan's birthday. Much to look forward to!
