Weekend Getaway and Soup!

The hubs and I managed to getaway this past weekend to Gatlinburg, TN.

Such a fun place to visit.

(It’s funny… seems that every time he wears his LSU t-shirt,

I wear a Tennessee one… we never plan it this way!)

Anywho…

I really thought the color would already be gone from the trees here…

but I was pleasantly surprised and mistaken!

Here is a picture from a scenic lookout that overlooks Gatlinburg.

Our hotel was the cylinder one in the distance.

So as we get back to our usual… it’s cold and rainy here…

perfect weather for making vegetable beef soup!
