Vacation Wrap-Up!

From inside our cabin.

Highlights of the vacation were numerous. The scenery was amazing! Likely the most beautiful scenery I've ever had the pleasure of seeing! We had a great cabin that was away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy streets. We went up a mountain on a sky lift. This former AZ girl realized she likes shrimp! We met a bird named Simon at a year-round Christmas village. What a great name he has been blessed with! Simon the bird "meows" and "barks". Super hilarious! My Simon on the other hand only barks! Plus we went hiking up a mountain on the border of TN and NC. Awesome! I was rather surprised/impressed with myself during that hike! It was tough at first but my body adjusted to the altitude and it got easier as we went. Oh and we didn't get eaten by a bear! LOL!

Now it's back to real-life. I'm finding that to be a little bit more of a daunting challenge than I expected! What a great time but now back to doggie chores and the normal everyday schedule!
