We are having FUN

Just a quick note to say hello and we are having fun. Here's a few pictures for your enjoyment and laughter.

Yours truly...
We stopped in Corbin, KY at Colonel Sanders original "Sanders Cafe". This was interesting to say the least. Food was great, the original kitchen and his things in the museum were..........well OLD.....and it smelled musty. I guess that's what happens to things of that nature, but it was almost unbearable.
Hubs with the Colonel. He was the only one that would sit with him. Me or E wouldn't. lol
Here we are at Jungle Jim's in Ohio. This place is awesome. By far the biggest super market I've ever been in.
For my friends in the south you'll understand this. Duke's Mayo is a staple in the south. It's normally around 3-4$ Here at Jungle Jim's where food is imported from all over the world (including the SOUTH ya'll) Duke's mayo is almost $7.00 I was floored! Now you know the mark up on imported items, even if it isn't from overseas.
Hubs and E and E's cousin at lunch. She's so dang dark!
Walking home from the pool. If you click on the picture to see it better, you'll see E walking. We were smart, we rode UP to the pool, and walked home since it was downhill. haha (my momma didn't raise no dummie, well she did, but it was my brother, lol)

Love you all!!

Vacation Pictures-Pigeon Forge, TN

I thought I'd share a few vacation pictures. I normally take pictures like crazy, I like to document everything we did. However, this trip was different. We met and shared our vacation with 3 of the hubs childhood friends. I've only met one and normally don't do so well meeting new people. Not to mention I had to stay with these people (strangers) for the next 5 days. Let's just say I was nervous, intimated, awkward, uneasy and anything else you can think of. And, did I mention I don't like crowds. Pigeon Forge is not the place to go if you don't like crowds. Anywho, it was a pleasant trip and not quiet as bad as I thought. E was not able to go with us as it was Father's Day weekend and had to spend it with his father. So, that in itself made it a very hard trip for me. I think I called him 4-5 times a day and if I wasn't calling him, he was calling me. OK, onto the pictures.......
This was our cabin we shared with 3 other families. It was 5 bedrooms and 5 baths. This was (as you can see) a top notch cabin.
It wouldn't be a vacation if we didn't save a turtle from the road. This was the road to our cabin so traffic wasn't bad. We "shewed" him across to a pond where I'm certain he was heading.
Picture proof of why they call it the "Smokey Mountains"
The view from our private deck off our bedroom.
Watauga lake, this is just above where we live. We stopped here on the way home and took in the view for a few minutes.

This concludes your tour of our vacation.

Check back often, vacation 2 begins July 8th. We'll be Ohio/Indiana bound.
