Monday, March 25 I think I already shared this- I started Monday off with some hot tub time. It was a late night Sunday night so we weren’t planning to be up and out the door super early on Monday or anything. It honestly got a bit later than I preferred before we headed out… Continue reading Great Smoky Mountain NP: Crowds, Spruce Flats Falls and Cades Cove
Sunday, March 24: Picking up where I left off in my last post- Sunday afternoon. So after arrival, a late lunch and then checking in at the resort, we headed out for Anakeesta. It’s a mountaintop “village/amusement park” of sorts. Not a full on amusement park but a smaller mountain version. The only rides are… Continue reading Anakeesta! Magical views!
We made it to Gatlinburg! (Tennessee) My current view as I type this: (Edit: current view yesterday (Monday) morning as I started to write this post, but then an older couple from California got in the hot tub and we started chatting and I put my phone away 😅). Haha. Yes, always the hot tub.… Continue reading Travel days and we made it to Gatlinburg!
Feeling ready for a vacay!! I will be honest, part of me kind of wishes we were just jetting off somewhere REALLY WARM where I could sink into a lounge chair with one foot hanging off and toes in the sand and do not much else for the rest of the time. I'm just a… Continue reading Spring break + crowds
It's that time of year where high school seniors are finalizing their college choices for next year. Obviously I do not have a senior (yet, thank goodness), but I know many people who do! I love witnessing this next step! One of the cool things about Asher's swim team is that it's one big team-… Continue reading Witnessing the next step- college choice
🔷 Ivan turned 43 last Monday! Not the most exciting day to have a birthday (a Monday), but we were able to clear the decks and go out for (what else?) Mexican food. His brother + his gf joined us, and I stealthily told the waitress it was his birthday when he went to the… Continue reading Random life updates
1) Charlie Update You guys. I have THE BEST dog ever. Seriously, I am just obsessed with my little Charlie. I mean, I have been since we got him, but I am extra obsessed with him lately. He is 8.5 months old now (!! How!!!?) and has just really settled in and settled down. He… Continue reading Thursday Things: Puppy + Fashion
This past weekend was so fun!!! A bit of a busy whirlwind trip, but so fun. Ethan had a soccer game in Minneapolis, which is about a 4 hour drive from our house. (It was supposed to be two games, but ended up being only one- long story.) When I'd heard about the Minneapolis games,… Continue reading Minneapolis fun + friends!!
Hello! It's been a few days. The weekend was busy with Asher's State swim meet. (He was a relay-only swimmer, Saturday and Sunday.) We met my parents for dinner on Friday night on the way into town, and then were up and gone pretty early both Saturday and Sunday for the meet. He did well… Continue reading Weekend updates and (annual?) pandemic flashbacks
Eek, I sort of "missed" the end of February and the whole Leap Year fun. I don't feel like I exactly rounded out February in a nice, neat way, either. Oh well. I still have some lingering tasks from my Monthly list but maybe I can tackle those this weekend. (Specifically, I want to review… Continue reading Friday/ New month!
