We rang in the new year with good friends, good food, and good fun! Our friends the Nesbitts organized a trip to Dale Hollow Lake. We rented a very large cabin that housed all 22 of us, and we could've even had a few more. We left on New Year's Eve, and we certainly got a road trip. It only takes 2 and a half hours to get there, but we turned it in to about 8 hours with a stop to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, a hike at some falls, and lunch at the Abells' grandmother's house. When we got to the cabin, the kids could hardly wait to hop in the hot tub, but it wasn't warm enough yet, so they had to wait until New Year's Day. The kids enjoyed movies, pool, the hot tub, facials, foot massages, fishing, games, hikes, and food. The adults enjoyed relaxing with friends, playing Catch Phrase, hiking, fishing, laughing, and most of all eating!
It was a relaxing vacation, and I hope we make it an annual tradition. The only hitch we had was it snowed the night before we left, and we had a little trouble getting out, but we made it home safe and sound. :)
