TN weekend

We went up to Tennessee this weekend to see Chris' mom, stepdad, sister and brother-in-law. We left Thursday afternoon and stayed through Sunday, which made for a nice long weekend. Chris had been on Spring Break last week and I took Friday off, so it was a good getaway. We spent Thursday night at his mom's house and then Chris and I went into Pigeon Forge for the next two nights. His mom had some time share points she had to use up, so we got to stay for free which was even better. It was a nice place and we did tons of shopping at the outlets (bargains only, of course!). Found some good clearance clothes for next year for Meredith, got myself some new tennis shoes since I've really been trying to get to the gym lately, a few things at the Liz Claiborne outlet and some other random stuff. I guess what we saved on a hotel room, we spent on shopping and meals. Oh well, it was worth it and Chris and I got some quality time together, which is always nice :) Chris was also happy bc UNC made it to the final four.
Meredith had fun with her Mimi and Kaci. She loves seeing the horses and the dogs and cats. Their house is so different from anywhere she's been because it is a horse farm in the country, so it would be interesting to know what goes through her little head when she's in such a different environment. I know we don't live in NYC or anything, but it's still very different.
We did the usual stop through High Point to see Grandma Dot and Grandaddy Clarence (Elliott) and they were thrilled to see Meredith. We made it home around 8:00 and tried to get Meredith to bed as soon as possible, which wasn't easy since she had been cooped up in the car for most of the day. So now we are into another week and another month already. March seemed to fly by. I'm ready for the beach now....come on July!
