Weekend Getaway

This past weekend, Ricky and I decided to go to the mountains for the weekend.  It was a much-needed escape.  We both have been feeling somewhat "under the weather".  I knew Ricky must be at a weak point when he agreed to let me do the driving, because that almost NEVER happens.  He cat-napped while I drove and I managed to get him there in one piece!
Saturday we went tubing on the Oconalufftee River.  Seriously, it's the most fun you can have for $10.00.  We did it years ago when we were dating and we had a blast. 
After tubing, we took a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Beautiful!!
Time flew by, just like I knew it would, but we had a great weekend...
Bonus: Ricky sang "Brown Eyed Girl" to me...I love that, and him!

Ready for TUBING!

Ahh...so relaxing!

Perfect escape....

The squirrel took our picture...cool!

Ain't we got fun?
