We’re back from yet another trip, and I’m overrun with laundry and
things to do once again, so today’s post will be short and simple. It’s our trip recapped in numbers! I always love doing these!
10 – Times I had to turn around in my seat in the car to help the
kids switch DVDs/get snacks/take off shoes/etc. on the trip up and back.
10 – Times that we crossed the Georgia/North Carolina border.
12 – Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins baked.
0.25 – Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins eaten by the kids. (They didn’t like them… weirdos.)
2,949 – Feet up… the highest altitude reached.
3 – Bottles of wine purchased at the winery.
2 – Gorgeous waterfalls seen on our hike.
1 – Bucket of rocks sifted through to find gems.
2 – Beers consumed at the German restaurant in Helen , GA.
1 – Time we were asked if Jacob and Olivia were twins.
23 – Apples picked at the orchard.
3 – Baby calves seen at the petting zoo.
6 – Apple cider donuts purchased and eaten.
1 - Tacky souvenir frame purchased for our gallery wall.
2 – T-shirts purchased as souvenirs.
7 – Times that the GPS fell off of the dashboard when Brian
stepped on the gas
2 – Times that the GPS fell off of the dashboard and Brian blamed
it on the mountain.
Happy new week, everybody! Days one and two of our trip will be on the
blog tomorrow!
*Linking up with B Loved Boston for Weekending, My Glittery Heart for Hello Monday, More Pieces of Me for Hello Monday Linkup, and HoHo Runs for Weekly Wrap.

You guys have been living up Fall to the fullest and I love all your smiles!!! Looks like a precious little get away and love the numbers, I did a vacation post like that once and it was so fun!! I wish an apple cider doughnut would appear in front of me, lol!! Happy Monday cutie pie!
ReplyDeleteYes, we have definitely been trying to do all the fall things! Too bad the weather didn't cooperate, but we sure had fun anyway!
DeleteCan't wait for the recap! I was bummed that you guys didn't get the wonderful fall weather you had last year, but I am sure it was still absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome time!! Can't wait to hear more and see pics!
ReplyDeleteEverything in this post is so perfectly fall - the food, the activities, the drinks. Love it! That last one made me lol!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun fall weekend. I am a sucker for those apple cider doughnuts. They scream fall to me now! xoxo ERIN

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome trip! I love these posts of yours. I also cannot wait to see all the pictures and recaps! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing trip. I can't believe the clothes y'all are wearing though. I hope you get some fall weather soon.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't like chocolate chip pumpkin muffins?! Crazy! Glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteDid you eat the other 11.25 pumpkin muffins?! Looks like a great time! xo, Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeletePumpkin chocolate chip muffins sound delicious! Please share the recipe!
ReplyDeleteGirl, they are so easy - combine 1 box spice cake mix, 1 can pumpkin, 1 cup chocolate chips and bake at 350 for 20ish minutes or until a toothpick comes clean!
DeleteWhat a fun weekend!!! Love that family picture!! Pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, YES PLEASE!
ReplyDeleteWaterfalls, wineries, and apple picking?! Yes please! Oooh and those pumpkin chocolate chip muffins <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
Wow! Sounds like an amazing trip!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about your trip. Sounds like lots of fun and memories. What is wrong with your kids not liking pumpkin chocolate chip muffins... my son doesn't either.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just crazy?! I mean, WHY?? What's not to like??
DeleteHahaha love the GPS anecdotes! I only picked 6 apples at the orchard this weekend because I've never picked an apple in my life and I wasn't sure if I was getting the good ones. Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. You can't go wrong at the orchard as long as they're not mushy!
DeleteLove the GPS one! Also, I'm impressed with only 3 bottles. When we on our wine tour up north, we bought three cases... ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Well, we had just bought two cases from Trader Joe's a couple of months prior so we didn't need that many!
DeleteOH yes to the DVDs, shoes, socks, and turning around for the kiddos bit haha I swear that's my life on every road trip these days!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED following along on your InstaStories for this trip. The kids look like they had an absolute blast and you guys still incorporated some fun, adult activities. What a memorable one!
ReplyDeleteThe "by the numbers" post is a great idea! I need to remember that when I don't have time (or functioning brain waves LOL) ;-) Wow, only 10 times you had to turn around in your seat for backseat maintenance, that's great!
ReplyDeleteLol. Yes, it's a really fun post to put together! And girl, right?! Normally I feel like I turn around 5,000 times, but it wasn't too bad this time!
Deletelooks like a great weekend! I love this style of posts :)
ReplyDeleteIt was! Thank you!
DeleteI love vacation by the numbers posts!!
