Just what the doctor ordered

Since I wasn't allowed to travel this weekend, my family came up here to celebrate my sister's birthday.

I feel sorry for people who don't have a sister. In many ways, we are total opposites and spent about 15 years of our childhood wishing the other one didn't exist.

But now, we are great friends and I can't imagine life without her.

I don't know anyone who works harder than she does - at her job, at being a good friend and at being there for her family. And Riley absolutely adores her.

She is the queen of Excel spreadsheets, the best travel companion, an avid runner, and a firm believer in the saying, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere."

We decided to celebrate her birthday with a little shopping, a lot of eating and a brief visit to King Family Vineyards.

 

It was a perfect weekend and just what I needed to get back on my feet. Happy birthday, Katie! We love you!

I always wanted a sister. I have a brother who is 10 years younger than I so he didn't really count lol
How very sweet that you feel this way about your sister, that is the way I imagine it would be.
I love Riley's face !

I LOVE King Family Vineyards! We went there this summer for the first time while hitting up Cville. It's so great because the kids can just run around!!
