Well, our trip last weekend was a great success. We left on Saturday morning, drove to the cabin. We stayed the weekend and drove back home on Monday morning.

We hiked a trail on Saturday night when we arrived. Did the usual cook out dinner afterwards.

Sunday morning we went to an self-guided underground cave tour. Then in the afternoon we went on another trail that followed a River Gorge with multiple look-out viewing areas.

Came back to the cabin that night and enjoyed the hot tub out on the back porch of our cabin!

It was a great time all around. The only downfall we experienced was a lack of cold water on Monday morning. It took almost 25 minutes for the water to finally warm up.

We had to laugh at ourselves for being so un-prepared. We forgot the digital camera charger. We forgot to spray ourselves with bug-spray even though we had the bug spray in the cabin. We also did not bring any sort of backpack/ fannypack to carry our supplies on our hikes. Heck, on our first hike.. we didn’t even bring water. And the hike was a total of 4 miles. LOL

We took a lot of pictures.  I’m working on a slide show, more to come with that.

This week is my last week before I start my new job in the PACU. I’m both sad and excited. The only good thing about this whole move is that I have the option to work shifts at the Trauma ICU whenever there is time and availability. And that particular ICU ALWAYS has extra shifts.
