BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

Ok, so life has been a little crazy... In the last few weeks we have been on a weekend trip to Tellico Plains to fish (Cadillac's vacation), on a weekend vacation to Nevada City, California and I have decided to resign from Resp-I-Care!!! The trip to Tellico Plains was nice. We stayed in a small cabin and went fishing. Cadillac does not like swimming (he is not really built for it), but after we had the chance to show him that he could touch the bottom he really seemed to like the river! Pete then had to go to Sacramento, CA so he decided he wanted me to come out too! He would not tell me where we were going, but I knew we were not staying in Sacramento. I flew in on Thursday night and we left Friday on our excursion. Well we ended up in Nevada City which is right in the middle of the gold country. We arrived at a very nice bed and breakfast that was 138 years old! We had a blast. Pete had the whole weekend planned... Dinner reservations, wine and cheese every evening, a draft horse show, a wine tasting and brunch, visit to the Empire Gold mine, tour of the original fire hall, and just pure relaxation! I had a blast and we both needed it. I have been extremely stressed with the career change and my stress had rubbed off on Pete... He has been a trooper though and very supportive! The job change is a good thing and it is still in the Respiratory field, I am so excited and ready for something new! I am so sorry it took a while, but here are a few pics. I am also including a pic of Cadillac and his new neighbor friend! It's a CAT (sugar). She likes to come in our doggie door to visit. She is sweet but Pete can't stand cats. Cadillac is amused by her though and they enjoy one another. (I just realized, there are no pics of me. I will try to do better!)

So glad you had a great time. And yes, do better with the pictures, including some of you. :) Mark and I need a weekend getaway too, but there just isn't time right now. And we do have our honeymoon to look forward to. :) Talk about a much needed vacation.
