Vacation - Arrival

June 12, 2010 Saturday
(dates on photo's are wrong and vacation blogs are a little delayed)

After the long yet fun ride to our destination. We finally arrive. :) "Where are we?" asked Parker. "In the middle of the mountains of NC" Matt responded. As we open the gate to the driveway to our new home (for the week anyway) everyone is anticipating what will it look like.

"WOW! So cool" they exclaim and couldn't get out of the van fast enough to go explore.

Peyton snapping pics of every inch of the place and the boys run down to the lower level to the game room. "SO Cool" you would hear every now and again. Yes, it was a beautiful "Home" for the week. Soon the rest of the family will arrive so lets get unpacked. My poor hubby also needed his sleep. He was very much sleep deprived.

Our cabin "River Raves" sat on a gentle slope leading to the New River. Ah, the sound of the river..... sitting on the porch swing was so relaxing. (who needs Calgon when you have this? :)

Mom, Dad, my sister, and Buttons arrived around 6pm. Stories of getting lost using the GPS named "Gloria" were all to tell. (more about Gloria to come,hahaha)

After a little rest the ladies found the Wal-Mart a couple of towns over. We had to buy supplies for at least the next couple of days. It is a trek to say the least and with NO cell signal on the mountain, better take a list ;)

Well by the time we were done and it being late and no one has eaten since lunch time we got a couple pizzas to bake real quick when we got home. (LOL, Nothing is real quick...just sayin )

After all the groceries were all in. Matt stated..."you only bought enough for tomorrow didn't ya" He laughed and followed that with "yeh, Kathryn shops for 1 and I shop for 30" It is true I usually fall short in the grocery dept. I just haven't shopped for a large family, ever. LOL, needless to say Matt made the grocery runs from then on :)
