A romantical weekend and I promise that even though this is my second post this week pertaining to alcohol that I am not a lush.

Our cabin awaits us!

It has been three years since the hubby and I have gone away together for a weekend. The last time we went on a getaway together we ended up at a casino in Cherokee, North Carolina. Which just so happened to be a dry county. Who puts a casino in a dry county? It was awful. We drove thirty minutes in the rain to get box wine from Walmart and then got drunk in the Holiday Inn across the street while we watched that show The Deadliest Catch. After we had a decent enough buzz to brave the fluorescent lighting in the casino, we headed over to the slot machines where I wasted a hundred bucks. A guy on a stool next to me fell out of his chair and I got so excited to see another drunk person that I threw my hands in the air and shouted "Woo!" only to discover that it was a handicap person who had lost his balance. Don't judge me. It wasn't my proudest moment.

Well...we are giving it another shot and I am so excited. We are off to a little cabin in the woods to celebrate our seven year anniversary. We are leaving the kiddos at my parents' house and heading to the mountains. I see southern food, scenic drives, antique malls, winery tours, and romance in my future. I've packed the Skip Bo cards, Scrabble, and I've got all the ingredients to make White Russians. There is a porch swing and a hot tub awaiting us. Fun times are coming our way!

I just pray that there are no casinos in the area.
