5 Wonderful Years Together

Shannon and I celebrated our 5th anniversary this week (the actual anniversary is May 25th) by staying at the Whitestone Country Inn. They call it a sanctuary for the soul, and I agree. At the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, the location is beautiful. The weather has been amazing, low 70s with a nice breeze. We had a blast just walking the trails, playing tennis and ping-pong. I have found out Shannon is tough at ping-pong. I have given her the nickname of "The Wall" because she returns everything.

Our bodies have also found sanctuary here. Shannon got a facial and massage. Our room has a body spa shower with jets and a waterfall as well as a hottub which we enjoyed tremendously. The food is incredible. 4 course meal made by a professional chef. He actually made broccoli taste good!

I encourage any couple to take a few days down here. It is a wonderful gift to your marriage. Here are a few photos from where we are staying. The sunrise was shot right off our our private deck overlooking Watts Bar lake. The cottage at the end is a the Lion and the Lamb where we stayed.

  1. I have had two or three massages! In fact they were full body massages with a very energetic (almost) three year old boy jumping enthusiastically up and down on my body, including my head a time or two! But I have also gotten those massages of the heart and soul when he smiles at me or lets me rock him, or runs to me for help, especially train building. We haven't watched the sunset but we have watched the garbage truck run and waved at the men on the truck! I never thought I would enjoy waving at men on a truck, but, strangely, I did. Odd what entertains us with a small child. Ok, Nana, Jacob, where are you? I can't find them, but I hear a bear, a cat, a dog, a cow, and a horse under the blanket!!!!
