Highlands is a happy place for me. Growing up we'd head up the mountain for some relief from the summer heat, and once in college we took off there due to a hurricane. On our way up we stopped at the Dillard House. Oh my word, the best. They bring you endless fresh produce, veggies, fried catfish and chicken. My in-law's had never been, but ended up loving it! You know how you remember something as a kid as being THE BEST EVER... then you recommend it to everyone and then you're sort of like... what if that's only cool when you're a kid? This happened to me when JB and I went to Lugano, Switzerland. I had gone there as a kid and remembered it as the best place in existence. So of course, I plotted our first swiss trip to Lugano. I told him we could go to Swiss Miniature... which I remembered being the coolest experience. When we got there we went to the tourist office, we found a brochure of swiss miniature... JB was quick to start belly laughing. It was a goofy golfing / miniature houses of swiss landmarks / miniature train like you see in a mall around christmas time, where the only adult was a conductor squished into his seat. needless to say, we found something else to do. Thankfully Dillard House did not prove a similar experience.
We went up the mountain to Highlands satisfied, albeit stuffed to the brim!
Happy Thursday!
i'm laughing out loud at the swiss story.
ReplyDeletep.s. you are gloooowing.
i heart ST & cowboy boots :) love yall!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love Highlands! The Old Edwards Inn is our favorite spot for an afternoon glass of wine and a bite to eat out on the veranda. We have been planning (for about two years) to build a lodge style B&B near Highlands. The plans are complete we just need to find the perfect property. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos.

That is soooo funny! I do that all of the time with my husband...only with movies! I always remember movies (that I watched in my childhood) being the best EVER. And then when I force him to watch them...he's like, "eh, what?" Haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat brand are your boots? They are the cutest!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit. I love the cowboy boots/lace dress combo. Sounds like a great time!
ReplyDeleteSarah! I've been home sick today and your blog has been the perfect entertainment! Loved reading all your letters to Tuck...and now he's here! WOW!
ReplyDeleteHad to comment on this one though b/c I'm doing to know where your boots are from/who they are buy. I'm always on the hunt for the perfect pair of cowoby boots!
Hope you and your family are having a great weekend!
