Mike and I are up in Gatlinburg, TN at the Buckhorn Inn celebrating our 10 yr. Wedding anniversary. Although I always wanted to go to Italy for our 10 yr. Anniversary trip, our schedules didn’t allow us enough time off together to make that happen, so when my friend Sonia Lee suggested the Buckhorn Inn, I checked it out online and I booked three days here. I’m SO glad I did. It’s amazing, beautiful, peaceful, romantic, charming and the perfect place to celebrate together. I am sitting in front of a beautiful fire, while Mike plays guitar on the couch. As a little girl, I used to dream of marrying a wonderful guy who would serenade me on the guitar each night. I finally got it right. Yep, I finally married the right one. He loves me. He loves our kids…. And he loves Ellie, our lab, puts up with Miles, our jerk of a cat, and has even grown fond of Django, our yorkie. He’s pretty perfect. I’m a lucky girl.
Today we drove up the mountain to Clingmans’ Dome. Unfortunately, it was closed because of too much snow and ice. We still enjoyed the drive. We ended up at Cherokee, NC on the other side of the mountain and found a Harrah’s casino there!! Of course we HAD to stop in there for a couple of hours. I mean, really, could this vacation be any more perfect?!?!?
It is supposed to snow tonight. I hope it does. I love snow. That would be perfect on our last day here. Then it’s back to Nashville and reality. Not that reality is bad. Our reality is wonderful, actually. It’s just fun to pretend sometimes too. :-) So today I’m pretending that I live in this little cottage on the mountain and I don’t have a care in the world. Nice, huh?
