5 year Anniversary Getaway!

Eric and I had a little get-a-way this weekend to Hendersonville NC for some camping! I know, I know...me, camping??? Actually believe it or not it was my idea! We went camping almost every fall growing up and it was always alot of fun! Even though I am a girly girl, I love to camp! (AS LONG AS they have HOT showers and toilets!!- I didn't say I was Laura Ingalls!) We dropped off Ryder early Saturday morning for his first real sleepover at Momma-Honey's and Pops! He had a blast by the way!...then we stopped for lunch a little past Hendersonville at a restaurant called Binions....

It was pretty good... It was the almost same as Texas Roadhouse

After we got there and we checked in, we decided to go pick up the canoe we rented...my sister-in-law had forewarned me about Canoeing being a little tricky and that I might fall in... well lets say this picture sums up the first 5 minutes! I was SURE I was going in, but then I got the hang of it and it was fun!!

Once I felt like I wasn't going to end up in the lake, I felt comfortable to take my life jacket off! ha!

 It was SOO Be-A-U-tiful!! I could have just sat in that canoe all day ..if we didn't keep floating over into the trees! :)

We canoed to a waterfall, pulled our canoe out of the water, tied it to a tree and did some hiking! It was SOO much fun!!

Of course Eric felt a little daring....

 I was actually a good 10 feet up in this picture... pretty DARING for me! IF I do say so myself!!!

 Eric decided he wanted to get a little close to these geese...well I thought I might need that life jacket after all, because the closer we got the more they started flapping there wings and I thought we might end up on "America's Funniest Home Video's"

We canoed back to camp and decided to "pitch a tent"

Eric was the chef for the weekend and started to heat up some water for our hot chocolate!

 Then we played a few games while we waited and soaked in our relaxing vaca

Phase 10 and hot chocolate... this is the life!

Of course I had to catch up on the world gossip!

That night we roasted smores and watched a movie we had rented on my computer!

We had the BEST time and are already planning our next camping trip!! WITH Ryder of course! He would have had a blast! Needless to say he had a blast with Momma-Honey and Pops too! My first real night away from him wasn't so bad! I was pretty busy though, you know, reading magazines and staying warm! :)

5 years...wow that's a long time!
