We got back on Sunday from our vacation in the Keys. It was a great time and there was beautiful scenery. We stayed at Bluewater Key RV Resort and it was beautiful. Each site had their own dock and was right on the water. The picture is the view from our site!

We spent a day in the upper keys and fed the giant tarpon at Robbie's Marina and toured the Turtle Hospital. Then we went to Key West and explored that area. We rode the tourist trolley, toured the Ernest Hemingway House, Mel Fisher's Treasure Museum and Truman's Little White House.

And guess what I found in Key West?!?! A real Irish pub!! They even had my favorite English cider, Strongbow!!! Great food and great atmosphere!

I know your all jealous now. Click on the pic to see some more of our tropical break.

So after my parents picked me up form camp we traveled to Cherokee, NC to check out the Smoky Mountains and the surrounding area. We saw Unto These Hills, the outdoor drama about the Cherokee people. It was great! Also me and my dad rode the motorcycle on the Tail of the Dragon. It is a world famous motorcycle and sports car road. It has 318 turns in 11 miles. What a blast! After that we rode 441 through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, what views! Absolutely gorgeous! Click on the pic for more pictures of Tail of the Dragon and the Smoky Mountains.

a.k.a. the happiest place on Earth! Move over Disney World...you're title has been taken! This truly is a magical place! When kids come here they can be themselves, do anything they want, and forget about their illness. It's a great place and everyone should volunteer here and experience the magic for themselves. I will most definitely be back next summer! Click on the pic for more pictures of the grounds and Kyle Petty (who I totally met!).

A Glorious Day for a Sail

This year for Mother's Day we took my mom on the schooner Freedom. She has seen it sail since we moved here and every time she does she says, "I want to do that." So today...we did. It was a great day for a sail and the water was wonderful.

We ate at a little restaurant downtown afterward. It was good food and great service!

Overall a great Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers in my life...you know who you are!! Love ya!
