Weekend at the Cabin

This past weekend we went up to Calyton, GA and rented a cabin for 3 nights. I love negotiating with people, and in my search for a cabin I was able to get a super last minute deal. We called the Kartchners and they came up for one night. They got there Saturday morning and left Sunday evening so we had 2 full days of fun with them. The next few blogs tell you about some of the fun we had. Also, chack out Jaimee's blog to read more about our fun weekend. (see link for "Kartchner Family").

I will start by telling you about this great little place about half and hour north of Calyton in Frankiln, NC. It is a BBQ joint called "Fat Buddies". We have been there a few times in the past and could not pass up another chance to have the best bbq ribs ever. We told the Kartchners about how much we loved this place. I was afraid that we would talk it up too much, but they liked it (and they are not the biggest bbq fans....yeah, I don't understand it either. Jaimee is just not as southern as I am I guess. They do like some ribs though, so I can still be friends with them.)

Here we are at "Fat Buddies".Jaimee eating some goos ribs. They are so tender and have the best smokey flavor. This picture is just to demonstrate what a good sport Jannica is. Kate kept grabbing everything in sight. We had to move all the stuff over on the side by Jannica.

Thanks Jac...what a cutie. This is the beautiful view we had from our cabin.The front porch. It was so relaxing to sit out there on the rocking chairs. The last night it rained a little and it was so nice to sit and listen. Kate playing on the bed in our room.
