August 24
Today was a good day. In the morning we had originally thought we'd go for a hike but after we all got up we just felt like hanging out and enjoying the cabin until after lunch. And the morning was most productive. At dinner last night we'd discussed what had been the major goal - besides getting together again - of the week.....where to travel. We picked a Viking River Cruise through Eastern Europe. So this morning I reached out to our travel agent, the BEST travel agent in the world Nancy Nelson and by mid-morning we were booked for a November 2021 trip.
Around 1 pm we headed out to Gatlinburg and spent about two hours going through a lot of very unique shops. Saw a lot of things I WANTED but nothing we needed. We did find a Christmas ornament, which we try to pick up on every trip. Soon we were on our way to a very late lunch or early dinner at Crystelle Creek, a restaurant Mary Pat had found that had been described as the best restaurant in Gatlinburg. The other three had trout which they raved about. I had BBQ ribs and an "Apple Pie Momosa Moonshine" drink. All amazing. Keith joined us after he turned in his rental car and soon we were headed back to the cabin for our final evening. We got a group shot and then played cards - BooRay (which we'd played last night) and we again shared a lot of laughs. Just an amazing week with great friends. We'll now try to coordinate a getaway for the entire eight of us and look forward to our cruise in about a year and a half.
