Amy and I discussed it and while we're pretty flexible, here are our preferences:
Would like to do:
Slide Rock
Grandfather Mountain
White-Water Rafting
Would prefer not to do:
Outlet Mall
I would also like to play golf and/or tennis, but I'll be ok if we dont get to that. Everything else on the list we can go either way with. Looking forward to seeing you all and your mustaches!
I think we got more excited with each item listed...except maybe eating what you catch. (Well, one of us wasn't too thrilled about it; the other went to get his fishing pole)
Matters of upmost importance:
+++ Putt Putt
+++ Grandfather Mountain
+++ Slide Rock
+++ Growing Staches
++ Rock Hopping
++ White Water Rafting
+ Tennis and golf (We'll have our raquets and clubs, but if we don't get to it it's ok)
I asked David if there was anything else, and he said (and I quote), "I don't know, the whole dam trip sounds pretty fun."
We're up for anything as long as we're with some of the best people on earth, and I think we will be!
