Pleasure, Rest & Relaxation

June 13, 2011 by Tracey 7 Comments

Vacation (noun):  A period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation.

We were on vacation last week at one of my favorite places in the world – the mountains of Tennessee.

We explored old churches and graveyards….

waded in a cool mountain stream, just above a small waterfall….

spent hours playing with cousins….

and had a few quiet moments to ourselves.

It was wonderfully refreshing!!

Do you have vacation plans for the summer?

    Hey! Welcome home 🙂 The picture of that mountain stream is beautiful! Sounds like you had a wonderful time!

    We are planning our weekly trip to Ocean City, but that's it for this year!

    Aurie,

    Thanks! We did have a great time. It was good to be home – once I made it through those six loads of laundry. 😉

    I've heard about Ocean City, but never visited. You'll have to share the highlights!

    Sounds lovely! Tennessee is just beautiful. We tend to travel more in the fall/winter months. We love going to North Carolina that time of year. Summers are usually spent here at home at the pool and getting together with friends.

    Jennifer,

    There is something to be said for traveling when it's cooler! Fall is a great time to see the mountains with all the leaves changing colors. It's been awhile since we were able to be in the mountains during that season.

    The pictures speak of refreshment!! Glad you had a nice vacation and are home safe!

    We have plans to visit family here and there ~ nothing big this year…but with the move, everything around us is still very new! Lots to explore in our new town, so we'll count that as part of it all. =)

    Have a great week!

    It's always fun to explore new places close by! Hope you find lots of spots that you can enjoy time and again.
