Going To A County Retreat In The Mountains.....







The excitement of going to the mountains for a weekend getaway for me is….



The Preparations;



  • Chores: must be done so we come back to a clean house
  • Packing:  Did you pack the Roma, Where is radio; Do we have any batteries for the flashlights? Where is the bug spray!?
  • The Car:  Need to get an oil change and fill up on gas. 


The Journey;



  • We travel the crowed 6 lanes from Federal Highways until we make the first turn off on to a two lane State highway.  Then we go up a hill and back down and around until we turn off onto a 1 lane county road as we go just a little ways down winding road to the cabin.


AND THEN WE ARE HERE!



  • We get out of the car I notice that it’s quiet, the air seem to be fresher.  As I turn around there are trees, mountains, flowers and birds signing.  Then unpack the car and open up the cabin and so the weekend begins!


The Joy of being at the Cabin...



  • Here I don’t think about those every day stressors, but enjoy this moment with family, friends; and time to rest & enjoy the peace; and making memories that will last a life time!
