Tennessee

Theron and I left on May 2nd to spend a few days alone before going to PCC to get the girls. We rented a cabin in the mountains near Gatlinburg for two nights. It was absolutely wonderful!! Theron's phone didn't have coverage there, so we were truly alone, no calls from work!! It was perfect! Oh, and our cabin's name was Restful Haven, and it lived up to that name! We played games, watched TV, read on the deck, explored, played pool, relaxed in the hot tub and just had a great time the whole time we were there. It was a much needed respite from the daily grind of work. We had so much fun, just being together. I love you, Theron!! Thanks for the getaway!

Our room

Our room had a pool table, and we played quite a few games. Theron always won, but it was like old times, as we used to play pool a lot when we dated. I had a regulation sized pool table growing up, but my skills have really fallen over the years. It was still a blast, though!

Theron grilled steaks and potatoes our first night there! Yum Yum!!

We drove to the National Forest and drove/walked through Cade's Cove. It was awesome! We saw tons of deer and turkeys. I was so wanting to see a bear, but we didn't get to see any. Maybe next time! There are 6 or 7 deer in this pic!

Some wild turkeys.

Part of the road through the Cove....absolutely beautiful, even though it was raining pretty much the whole time we were there.


This is another part of the mountain we stayed on. This is further up from our cabin.



I got out of the car to take this picture and was surprised I wasn't scared of the height. Well, I got back in the van, and Theron pulled back onto the road. It was on the top of a hill, and all you could see was the clouds like these. It looked like the road was gone! It was so scary. I told him we had to turn around, as it wasn't fun any more. haha So much for my bravery!
