happy one hundred and camping at cades cove

This is my 100th post. Hooray!!

I am thrilled to have reached this milestone in my little blogs life.

I have enjoyed posting and sharing photos and experiences and other little treats with you.

I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have.

A special thanks to all of you that have been with me since the beginning.

I look forward to many more months, even years of blogging :)

Now onto my great camping adventure!

We went to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains. It was gorgeous. We had an awesome time with our family. We enjoyed seeing beautiful scenery and wildlife. We saw so many wild turkeys, deer, birds, a bear cub and a coyote. Our camp site had no electricity or showers AND I did an 11 mile bike ride around the cove. (the last time I rode a bike it probably had streamers on the handles and a bell. haha!) I for sure pushed my limits this weekend and enjoyed every minute. This trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. Oh and Jack did wonderful! He is now officially a camping dog :)

must the weekend-end?

I had an amazing weekend camping with my hubby and some family. I can't wait to tell you about it, but I am soooooo exhausted from all the fun. I am gonna hit the hay early tonight, but I will be back tomorrow evening to share more photos and some stories with you.

For now I will just leave you with this little preview of the gorgeous place we spent our time at.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. They really do seem to go by way too quickly.

Do I really have to go to work tomorrow? Does anyone want to take my place? :)

getting ready for our big camping weekend

We are going camping this weekend and I am super excited. This will be Jack's very first camping trip. Yay! I even found him this awesome doggie hiking backpack. It holds water like a camelbak and also has a pouch for some goodies. He is really looking forward to camping. I think he will be a pro.

This trip will be the first time we get to use our new tent. We upgraded to a four person tent to accommodate Jack. Since we have never even put the tent up before, I decided to surprise Jason and put it up in the house as a "trial." ha! I love it! I am contemplating sleeping in it tonight...

I can't wait to get out into nature and leave all our worries behind :)
