Just a couple of weeks ago, we were so happy to be visited by Jared's dad and brother, Nathan. Alia was especially happy to meet her grandpa and uncle for the first time.
The weather was absolutely beautiful, so we were able to spend a good amount of time outdoors, just enjoying North Carolina in the Spring. We spent a lot of time over at the Duke Gardens (which were very much in bloom with a seemingly endless array of plants and flowers). Also, we took some beautiful scenic drives and walks around the area, and they even made a trip to the local farmer's market. And as with Ashworth tradition, there was much game playing, especially cards (and I pretty much dominated in pinochle) ;) Also, we were able to spend some of Easter with them (unfortunately they flew out at around 11). But we were able to hunt for baskets that the Easter Bunny hid and then we had a very yummy Easter breakfast. Alia loved having more family come out and visit. Of course, she LOVES the extra attention!
We had a wonderful time with our visitors and can't wait to have more in the future! (wink, wink)
