Townsend, Way Up in the Mountains With My Family!

Wow, so I just got back from one of the most amazing weekends that I have had in a long time! On May 19th my family and I left for Townsend, Tennessee! Of course, the three hour drive was not the greatest, but finally the mountains were in view and I was so excited! Then, on the drive up the mountains to our cabin was a bit intense....but absolutely gorgeous! Finally we arrived at our cabin which was splendid along with an awesome view of the mountains! Our God makes beautiful things for sure! On Sunday we just relaxed and then went down the mountain to have a progressive dinner! So we biked four about five miles to get pizza then hopped in the cars to go get ice cream! Monday we went to Metcalf Bottoms which is a place to have a picnic and enjoy the creek! A very nice day to sit in the sun and read a good book! Tuesday me and some of the girls went down to Townsend to do a little shopping, which of course, was fun! Then that night we went to Cades Cove where we saw quite a few bears! It also rained on us, but eh, it was still fun and beautiful! Wednesday morning a few of us got up pretty early to go ride our bikes around Cades Cove! While this is totally fun, it is quite exhausting! 11 miles up hills can be a little tricky, but always worth it! Then we went and ate and shopped some more! Thursday we went hiking! Hiking is one of my favorite things to do! We went on the Little River Trail and it was about seven miles! It was absolutely stunning! Friday we went tubing! I love to tube and so does my family! We went down the river twice and both times had a blast! Tubing was one of my favorite things we did this past week other than me getting a pretty intense sun burn. Friday night we had an incredible steak dinner and just enjoyed each others company. Not many people go on trips where they go with their whole family and just spend time together, but honestly, I wouldn't want to do it any other way! I got to experience more of Gods beauty this week and got closer to my family! This week was amazing and I'm looking forward to it again next summer!
