We're considering two different AirBnBs within a stone's throw of Burlington for a fall leaf-peeping trip: one in Charlotte and one in Fletcher.

Any local knowledge about the area around either? Ideally we'll come in to Burlington once or twice throughout the week, but we're also looking for there to be something to do a bit closer to the AirBnBs themselves. Think a local smaller city center, some restaurants, nature/hiking trails, or fall activities like apple orchards/pumpkin patches. Any recs for which may be the better area to base ourselves out of? I'm attempting to research, but it's always nice to get some firsthand information from people who live there. Thanks!

Hubby and I finally decided on a baby girl and baby boy name (we don’t know the gender so have both picked out). Just want some final thoughts and opinions before we lock in! 😊

For a boy we chose Ronan Russell. Ronan meaning “little seal” and to honor his Irish heritage, and Russell for my maternal grandfather.

For a girl we chose Linnéa Katherine. Linnéa meaning “twin flower” or “Linden tree” and to honor my Swedish heritage, and Katherine for his paternal grandmother. We’ll either call her the full name or potentially use Néa or Linnie as a nickname.

For reference we’re in the United States, so both of these names are pretty uncommon here, but I hope they won’t come off as too odd and also will be relatively intuitive to pronounce. It was a goal to have the names be closely tied to our heritage and family, and to be unique, but also to be names with roots that aren’t just trendy.

Thoughts??
