Honeymoon

We spent the first night after the wedding in Charlotte. Then the next morning we were to drive to Tennesee. We got up and ready to leave and Calvin realized he had forgotten his glasses. He had his contact (Yes, just one. A man with one eye only needs one. LOL) But he wanted his glasses to be able to rest his eye. So we had to drive back to Concord, before we could go to Tennesee. This started a trend in our marriage. I can count on my hands the number of times we left the house and DIDN"T come back. I just plan on it now. If I am going anywhere with Calvin I try to leave 5 minutes eariler than I would if I were alone. Because I know we will have to come back home to pick up something. I love him to death, but he is the person that really would forget his head were it not attached. And poor little Hannah is exactly like him.
Our destination was Roan Mountain, Tennesee. We had a little cabin booked up there for 4 nights. In my opinion it was a perfect honeymoon spot. It was up on a mountain far away from everything. Within a mile was a waterfall. The people that ran the place lived down the mountain a bit. They had a dog named Mitzi. The manager told us when we got there that when we wanted to see the waterfall to ask Mitzi and she would show us the way. The next day we did ask Mitzi and sure enough she led us to the waterfall. She would run about 20 feet ahead of us and then stop and look back and wait for us. Amazing. The waterfall was beautiful. We loved it.
This place was about 20 miles from Elizabethtown. We went there for our meals. One of the places we went was a "locals hangout". We walked in and there were animal heads all over the walls. And pictures of the resturant owner skinning or something the animals that he had killed. The picture on the wall next to where we sat was a 8X10 color shot of him standing next to a car, gun in hand, and a big ole bloody bear thrown over the hood of the car. LOL. Good thing I grew up on a farm and have a strong stomach. Seeing all this got us tickled and when the waitress came over (the waitress happened to be the bear killer's wife) we giggled and couldn't stop. We had our breakfast with no odd occurances. The bacon was the best we had ever had and Calvin wondered if it might be bear. But I think he was teasing me.
There isn't much to tell. We ate alot and walked alot and just enjoyed each other. I think it was just the way a honeymoon should be. We fully intended to go back to the same place a year or two later. We still haven't made it back there. I hope we do someday.
