This year for our annual ADPi Class of 98 Pledge Class weekend we headed to the mountains. Melissa coordinated our trip and found us a great place in Wears Valley, TN right in between Townsend and Pigeon Forge, TN. This was our 11th girls weekend. We had a blast! It was one of my favorite girls weekends besides maybe our Grayton trip. We could not have had more "girly" activities from Bunko to a pinterest party.

| Saturday we all slept in and had a late brunch and headed to the hot tub. We did have an interesting morning trying to be MacGyver and figuring out how to make coffee without filters, needless to say Kris and Jess headed off to the store. As soon as they left a tree fell blocking the road and knocking out the power for a while. They finally returned and we had coffee! |

| On Monday, we had a tour and lunch at the new ADPi House. It just opened in the fall and it is beautiful. They have talked about this happening since we were in college. |

| Garrick and I have an ongoing debate on whether I included my "full" name on our donation to the house. This is his proof that his name is also on the wall! |
