Highlands for Halloween

Happy {late} Halloween to all of you blogger friends!

For the weekend, David and I headed to Highlands with our friends Callie and Brian Hughs, and Colby and Jamie Smithson. We arrived Friday afternoon at Callie's parents adorable house before dinner at Wild Thyme. Delish!!!

On Saturday morning, the group hiked Whiteside Mountain after breakfast, and then hit Mountain Fresh Grocery for lunch before settling in for an afternoon/night of football. It was so wonderfully relaxing!

After cleaning up the house and having a birthday breakfast for Callie on Sunday, we hit a few shops on the way out of town. A late lunch at Dillard House was the end of our amazing weekend with friends! Happy Fall!

The Griffins! It was a gorgeous morning!

The Hughs family - Callie, Brian, and Hooch

Callie, Brian, and Jamie are all Auburn graduates. Sadly, the Auburn game wasn't on TV in Highlands, but we felt the spirit with Callie's adorable FunFetti AU cakes.

The boys watching the Georgia game on the porch - yay for that awesome win against Florida! We gals stayed inside and napped/snacked. It was cold!

This adorable little guy was spooked after a bear came up close to the house. He stayed close after that!

On Sunday, after a 25th birthday breakfast for Callie, we stopped by Brian's parent's awesome house to see the view. Whiteside Mountain is gorgeous from their back yard - that's the trail we hiked on Saturday morning.

A group shot before we hit the road.

Thanks Callie for letting us use the Martin's house for the weekend! We had an awesome time!
