booked

Today Chris and I booked our vacation, and it’s the vacation I’ve been wanting for over a year now. We booked a cabin right outside the Great Smokey Mountain National Park in Tennessee. The dream vacation would have been the same idea only in Montana, but we really wanted to go somewhere that we could drive to in a day. Tennessee would be a 9 hour drive, but if we left early and played some driving games I think it’ll be fine. We’re going the week of our 1st anniversary which is also in October. This is prime fall color season so it should be really beautiful. I’m so excited! He’s going to bring his guitar and I ‘m bringing my beads and we’re not going to book any other plans. I just want to go somewhere that we can sit on a deck pull out beads/guitar and relax. The national park is very close by so if we get restless or bored I want to go for hikes in the woods. One of the day’s we’ll probably go to Gatlinburg which is a very touristy town nearby. Maybe I can find a bead store in the area too to check out. I’m excited to have a relaxing vacation with little or no obligations. We splurged on the cabin so that we’d really enjoy it if we just wanted to stay in for a few days. Especially the weekend…GSMNP is apparently the most visited national park in the US. And with October being prime fall color it’s supposed to be packed. But we figure we’ll go for hikes in the early morning or evening and stick to the weekdays. Now all we have to do is be patient and wait for October to roll around.
In other news, last night I bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So far it’s pretty good. Definitely a fast read, I’m already 130 pages into it. The style in the writing seems a little different, but that could be b/c it’s been so long since I read the last book. I still haven’t heard a word about the ending, and I’m trying to keep it that way.
