Vacay!

My sweet hubs and I have decided that we will take a trip this Summer to celebrate me not being dead, paralyzed, or maimed. That may sound funny, but remember I am really into celebrating any and everything. The weekend of my one year accident anniversary we will be going to our favorite place on Earth: the Blue Ridge Parkway. I feel so at peace and happy whenever I visit. I can't think of a better place to celebrate life then there!

The day we drive up we are taking a picnic lunch to enjoy on the parkway. We are planning on staying at the Mt. Pisgah Inn which is somewhat rustic and old fashioned but we don't care at all. We are going to go on several hikes (because I will be damned if I cannot hike in June!) and take in all the beautiful sites the parkway has to offer in section 5. We will also be going in to Asheville for a fun dinner and hopefully some ice cream at the Biltmore Creamery... YUM!

It may seem strange to already be planning a Summer vacation. But as I have mentioned before, it really helps my recovery process to have things on my calendar to look forward to. I am busy looking online for different trails to hike. I have found 3 that are near the inn that seem very scenic and somewhat difficult. I like a little challenge so I think we will be checking them out while we are there. Can't wait!!!
