Our previous family vacations have been to Branson several times,  (Hubby's Dad lived down there) and Myrtle Beach, SC to see the ocean.  As fun as those vacations were, we were always ready to come home.

This vacation was not that way.  We were not ready to come home.  I think we could have stayed in that cabin forever!  BooBoo wants to move to the mountains, and Hubby is not far behind her. 

The only regret I have is wishing we could have had one "quiet" day to just hang out with each other in the cabin.  We packed our favorite games anticipating quiet family evenings in the cabin.  There was just so much going on we didn't get to.  

We drove straight home. We stopped at a Burger King and had lunch, hit several rest areas where we would walk around a bit, and stopped in a small town near our home where hubby looked at a car for sale.

We made it home about 9pm that night.  We all slept in the next day, except for Hubby.  He was up bright and early to pick up our puppy from the kennel.  Talk about one happy dog! 

Thankfully, for the first time ever, I actually left for vacation with a clean house.  It was nice to come home to "nothing much to do."  The washer & dryer at the cabin even made the laundry an "it can wait" thing.

The rest of vacation was pretty much quiet.  Hubby took the girls fishing several times.  They watched a movie at the library one day, and we had a family birthday party for Miss Kitty and Hubby over the weekend.  I picked up my photos from vacation yesterday and have already started my vacation scrapbook.  I hope we can go back to the Smoky Mountains again, but even if we don't, we'll always have great memories!
