Murphypalooza Day 4: We had the time of our life

This 10-year-old little dude was the baby at our wedding. Now he is totally tween. Amazing!

We stayed with his family in NoVa. Amy is one of my dear friends, who I last saw two years ago, when she drove three hours to see me for just an overnight. Now she hosted my circus, took us to the pool and arranged for an awesome babysitter so we could go out. What a gal!

That day we decided to drive as far as we could and Isaac decided he could come up with his own activity in the car: marker body art.

But the McDonald's playplace at lunch just didn't cut it, and with my strong desire to spend the night in the mountains, we cut our driving short and spent the night at Kellerman's. Ring a bell?

Kellerman's! You know, from Dirty Dancing?!!

The cottage where Baby and her family stayed:

The gazebo:

where Mo tried to perfect his Dirty Dancing lift with all the boys.

None were as good as Jennifer Grey. Sorry boys.

The resort is really called Mountain Lake, and it's an absolutely gorgeous place.

But they are quite shameless about their DD connection and there are pieces of the movie all over the property.

It was a lovely place to spend the afternoon and the summer solstice.
