Mothers and Daughters Gone Wild Part 2

Our next trip is officially booked!! I am so excited. And even doubly excited because we're staying at Snug Hollow Farm, the same place Brian and I stayed over Labor Day weekend. (See here and here)

In my first post I pointed out a little cabin that I thought we'd be staying in for this upcoming trip. Turns out, forgetting to book the place for a couple weeks means other people snatch it up! But THANK GOODNESS the other cabin was still available. And, coincidentally, it's the only one I got good pictures of! So, family, here's a little preview of where we'll be staying.

Huge porch (it wraps around) complete with swing and rocking chairs. 

One view of the little kitchen area.

Plenty of room for our crockpot extravaganza on Saturday night!

A little reading corner

And the view from the reading corner window. :) 

Now I'm not gonna lie--I think the other cabin definitely has more space somehow. And the sleeping arrangements will be a lot more "cozy" (I will be bringing an air mattress!). But it's going to be great!!

Time to start designing our shirt for this trip. :) The last one was quite a hit:

We all look fabulous in pink!

How funny is that?! I love that Granny is zero because she started us all :)

 On another note--look how long my hair is!! It'll probably be that long on the next trip too. Funny how there will be 6 (!!) years between trips, my hair has been SHORT for 90% of the time in between them but long for both excursions. I think that little tid bit is interesting at least. It's a bummer we have to wait until next spring to go. I'm ready NOW!

It feels good to write again! I've been kicking Mary Kay into high gear and that leaves with time to do just about nothing as far as blogging and free time. I guess Mary Kay is probably owed post on here sometime soon! :)

Red River Gorge (or not)

So when we went to Snug Hollow Farm last weekend (here and here), I believe I found it in the first place because I was looking for a place nearish Red River Gorge. Our wedding photographer lives there now and I was thinking that maybe we'd get some new photos taken or something. Didn't pan out that way (and financially that was all for the better!!), but neither of us has ever been to the gorge so I figured we should at least stop by and make an appearance.

Technically "there".

The problem is we waited till Sunday on our way home because Saturday was too busy with moving from rocking chair to rocking chair with a book in between naps. :)

By the time we were on the way home the weather was crummy and we were tired and also needed to get back in time for our annual Labor Day fireworks hangout with our friends Jonathan and Larry. And it turns out you really don't get to see anything "cool" at the gorge unless you're willing to HIKE to it! What a bummer.

So we drove around it for probably an hour. I'd say we gave it the old college try. But then we were pretty much over it and turned around to really head home.

Some rocks.

One of the highlights of my Red River Gorge "experience."

And then finally we did experience something cool that scared the daylights out of me: Nada Tunnel. It's cut through the side of the mountain. One way through. Pitch black and just enough room for your car on top and the sides. It was CREEPY. I made Brian close the sunroof.

The entrance to Nada Tunnel. 

Wanna know how lazy we are? This photo was actually taken out the sunroof--while I was still sitting in the car. Ahhhh vacation....
