Winter Getaway

Things have been a bit hectic around here.  So much so that when friends of ours invited us to the mountains for several days, we jumped at the chance to go.  A mini vacation mid-winter?  Yes, please!  Last weekend we loaded up the car, winter gear included, and headed to Gatlinburg to spend 5 wonderful, but all too short days away from "life".  There was an equal amount of lounging in the cabin (i.e. knitting in front of the fire) and exploring.  The kids also got to play in the snow!  We all had so much fun and declared that a return trip was a must.  I am so grateful to our friends for giving us exactly what we needed!
