Well, we got back from vacation last night, and I am still very tired and recovering from a long week of doing nearly nothing.
I have oodles of pictures, but Ray has yet to put them on my computer so there will be a "Vacation Part 3" post coming very soon.
We did get to do a few things, aside from the sitting around doing nothing. Sunday through Tuesday, not much happened. On Wednesday, we stayed at the cabin and watched our neighbors light off a ginormous stack of fireworks that they claimed cost over $700 to buy. Emmy did not like the loud noises, so she ended up in the house snuggling with Ray on our bed watching the fireworks display on TV. She later informed me that the fireworks on TV were quiet, so she liked them better than the ones outside. Who needs to spend $700 on fireworks when there are better ones on TV anyway??
On Thursday we drove around for several hours in the Smokey Mountain National Forest, which is beautiful. We stopped at a swimming area along a river that ran through the mountains - it was gorgeous! I took lots of pictures of Emmy playing in the water, and off all the scenery. We later all went our for dinner, which was a nice change.
On Friday, I went out for a few hours by myself (well, I took Pook, which was no big deal) and went shopping at a nearby outlet mall. I hit nearly every children's clothing store, plus a few other places and got some deals. It was nice to be out by myself for a bit. Friday night we had an early birthday party for Emmy (who is turning 3 in a few weeks!). She loved the attention and was spoiled with presents from her grandparents and aunts.
That's it - our vacation in a nutshell. I will hopefully get some pictures up soon. Have a great week!
