We went to an Elizabethton Twins game. They are the rookie league of the Minnesota Twins. We wore our MN Twins gear so we looked like we were big fans even though we'd never been there before. The Twins lost to the Cardinals but it was still fun... and they had a great fireworks show after the game so it was worth it.
The stadium has mountains in the background and a river that runs next to it. My camera phone doesn't quite do it justice.
The place we stayed had adorable little cottages tucked away in the mountains. It was so nice to sit outside on the porch and read for hours and hours... you can't do that in Columbia now!
Our chalet.

We explored the property: saw a waterfall, walked in the mountain stream, hiked a few trails... with Maelee on our minds.
On Monday we hiked up to one of the highest peaks in the Appalachians and enjoyed some wonderful mountain views while eating sandwiches. I was working hard hiking up the steep incline and was feeling very athletic... until I saw a five-year-old in front of us doing just fine.

We spent time with our friends, the Parkers, while we were in TN and had fun connecting with them. We drove through the Blue Ridge Parkway for a few hours on the way home and enjoyed some spectacular mountain views. It was a pleasant trip, a needed break from our day-to-day lives in SC.

Heather your trip sounded wonderful! I laughed out loud at the five-year-old you saw, which made you feel less athletic. I feel the same way when I try to go hiking. I drove by your parent's house the other day and I remembered playing in your back yard play house that looked exactly like your parent's house (use to look). I love your sense of humor.

So, you look really skinny. Is it just falling off of you or is that boot camp? If it's boot camp, I need to join you! You look great! I'm thinking about you this morning!

I went to River Falls Contra Dancing over the 4th weekend and was totally refreshed with the coolness of the mountains... and wondered why I have not gone that direction more often - how lovely it is so close. Enough of this heat already, huh!
