Labor Day Adventure

What a great holiday weekend!  Chris and I woke up early Saturday morning and headed to gorgeous East Tennessee to go white water rafting and camping...just the 2 of us!  We got into town early so we checked in and got on an earlier trip!  We had to go through a quick training session, get our gear and then everyone loaded into 2 school buses and we were off!  The scenery was absolutely amazing!!  The leaves were changing and the weather was perfect...although it was 95 degrees out the water stays between 65-72 degrees so it was good that it was hot hot so it made the water more appealing!  We were in put together with a family of 4 and we toted our raft down to the water.  After that it was 5 miles of forward 2, back ,1 break!!   There was one point were the company had a camera hooked up and they got some great pics of us.  The guide had one of the girls and I do lay up front while we went through some great rapids and here are some of the pics...

After rafting, we headed back to the main office and then set up our campsite and then headed to dinner.  We went to a restaurant that was ok but we did run into some friends from Nashville which was kind of funny.  We went to Wal-mart and got skip-bo cards and a normal deck of cards so that we could drink beer, play cards and listen to the Vols first game of the season.  Such a great night with my husband!!!
