Vacation Continued...

The first night we ate at the Apple Barn (toooooo much food)!

The next day Adam fished for our trout at a local trout farm and they cleaned and cooked it for us. It was really good!

I curled my hair!!! (HA!)

Adam ran into my Aunt Janet & family in Smoky Mountain Knife Works...we didn't know they were coming. They were with my Uncle Mal's family and were going to meet up later with my Paw-Paw's family who I had never met...so we arranged to go to the Dixie Stampede with them, and I got to meet them (see below)! Meeting some of Paw-Paw's family was something I've always wanted to do!

We ate at our favorite place there, the Peddler.

When we got there, the leaves were so pretty and fallish, but by the middle of the week, they were all gone and it was very, very cold and wintery.

At Dixie Stampede...

Meeting my aunts for the first time!

Me with my family I got to meet for the first time! This was so, so fun and unexpected!

The next day was an early lunch and some Cade's Cove exploring. It was so cold we only hiked once for a couple of miles to a waterfall.

The last day we went to the Apple Orchard and bought a bunch of apples, ate at the adjoining restaurant, and bought some fudge and candy for our families.

Then, we bought passes to play lasertag, mini golf, and go karts. (I ran into a wall and scared Adam to death on my go-kart, but thankfully, I didn't wreck the go kart or injure myself seriously!)

After that, we looked at boots (I wanted some, but they were waaaaay expensive!!!) and shared an oreo sundae (yum!)

Where we stayed...

The icicles on the mountains on our way home...

It was such a fun time! :)

Blast from the Past

A few vacation pictures from May 2009...this was a FUN vacation. Super laid back & relaxed @ Callaway Gardens...
A family of ducks...
We were like the duck paparazzi. They were so cute...although they FIERCELY did not like us getting too close!
On the way home...why, yes, that is Adam fishing on the dock...!!!
Also, I remember it was a trip with good hair days. Haha! :)
How I love looking back through old pictures! Especially of vacations!

Our Cape Canaveral/St. Augustine Vacation

Back at the beginning of June (where is time going?!), we took a little vacation to St. Augustine after a few days of work training at Cape Canaveral (for Adam). It was a fun five days! :)
It was my first time flying...
Which, in spite of being terrified of heights, I was not scared at all!
The clouds were so amazing!
Adam says I wasn't scared because it was (seriously) the smoothest ride (no turbulence, yay!) and best landing/takeoff he had ever been on. Plus, it was only a 45 minute flight!

Adam had some classes in Cape Canaveral so I shopped at some nearby downtowns and scrapped a little bit.
We drove around looking at some different places and then to St. Augustine on Friday.
We found this great little italian ice place in St. Augustine, it was so so good and had this mirror on the ceiling. Notice my cute Jo Totes purse?? My mom bought it for me last Christmas!
We visited the St. Augustine lighthouse, but um, I chickened out like one flight of stairs up. Haha! Oh my poor husband!!!
Visited the fort there too...and did some downtown shopping.
We also ate at some fun, yummy little places (mostly seafood) and this one great brick oven pizza place with garlic knots...mmmm!

It was a fun quick trip! :)

Have a good weekend! Amber
